I actually managed to have 4 flights last weekend *bliss*. 2 of them were scouts (good to get back into instructing at last) and two were in my LS6C.
OK so the weather wasn’t fab – the 2 scout flights and the first one in my LS6C gave me an hour’s flying time in total. But the flight on the Sunday was slightly more entertaining. Conditions were blue, with broken thermals few and far between. AND I made the near-fatal mistake of releasing from the tow at < 1400 feet because I thought I was in a good thermal. However it was all great soaring practice, it felt good to be sharpening those skills again!
Now all we need is some good weather for next weekend’s Inter Club League (in which I’m flying as an Intermediate), and we’re sorted! Fingers crossed!
