I'm guessing all that sudden revving up for the 'goes' doesn't do the engine much good. (Oh, yeah, they were fine, but I think the plane had a bent prop after it tipped forward on landing) most stopped engines are usually as a result of something the pilot did ( or didn't do) rather than mechanical failure. |
Re: watch out above !!!
We'll done, I remember my first solo x country, last leg is so relaxing as you head for home, the rest I was just so busy to remember it.
I remember having tea and scones at Caernarfon. |
Re: watch out above !!!
Yeah I didn't relax until I was abeam Oshawa airport, from there I could see Pickering and it just turned into my usual jaunt back from the practice area.
before that I was too concerned with the stealth like properties of Both Muskoka and Peterborough. Both airports conspired to hide from me |
