Hear Ye! » Flight 17: PAO-PAO

http://www.hearye.org/2015/05/flight-17-pao-pao

700am Friday 5/15 (1.0 hours) – 824LB. Second day with a few decent landings to start off with, but I seem to get worse the more I do in a row. Fatigue? John introduced me to power off landings today as well. They are basically short approaches simulating an engine failure when you’re roughly abeam the numbers on downwind. Some differences to a normal landing:. The turn to base is done sooner (accounting for wind). Flaps are kept up, pitch for best glide speed and trim. Bull; Tweet This. New to this site?

Hear Ye! » Silicon Valley (TV series)

http://www.hearye.org/2015/04/silicon-valley-tv-series

Silicon Valley (TV series). I gotta say, I find the HBO TV series. Absolutely hilarious, but I wonder how many people outside of the Valley understand all the jokes? The thing is, with a lot of the stuff on the show that seems exaggerated… that shit actually happens IRL. And, being a Valley lawyer, I found this exchange on the last episode priceless where the lawyer is listing out all the “boilerplate” things Pied Piper is being sued for:. 8220;We’re going to have to lawyer up.”. And in season 1 there&#8...

Hear Ye! » Flight 14: PAO-PAO

http://www.hearye.org/2015/05/flight-14-pao-pao

930am Sunday 5/3 (1.1 hours) 824LB Winds 4kts Skattered clouds at 1500′ Visibility 6 SM 14 C. Landing pattern practice. The landing flare is still giving me a bit of problems. Gradually figuring out the right rudder and aileron inputs for the round-out but suffering from pilot-induced oscillations. I need to:. Apply left rudder in the round out to counteract the right-turning tendency due to p-factor. Apply ailerons to stop any lateral drift. Bull; Tweet This. Bull; Add a comment. Go to the front page.

Hear Ye! » Cancelled Flight

http://www.hearye.org/2015/05/cancelled-flight

No flight today (Thursday 5/22). On my preflight inspection, I discovered a big chip in the propeller of 824LB, so that was that and we returned to the club to issue a grounding squawk. We instead covered the pre-solo written test materials and a single engine checkout form that my flying club requires to be completed before first solo. At least it was a step towards solo! No lessons until Sunday next week as I’m heading to Japan for a week. Bull; Tweet This. Bull; Add a comment. Go to the front page.

Hear Ye! » Flight 13: PAO-PAO

http://www.hearye.org/2015/04/flight-13-pao-pao

Well it looked like a good day to practice pattern work – skies clear and wind calm. But at 600 feet the wind went from calm to 22 knots, which was enough for John to call quits on the lesson only three landings in. Only 0.7 hours on the Hobbs tach. The landings were ok, but still having trouble with radio calls. A few planes struggled to land this morning – several go arounds, and one plane managed to overshoot the tarmac and end up in the dirt. Hopefully Sunday I can get some real practice in. All cont...

Hear Ye! » First Solo Flight!

http://www.hearye.org/2015/06/first-solo-flight

Haven’t posted for a while, but thought this lesson warranted one. On Sunday, John told me that today was a possibility for my first solo flight. He would go a few rounds with me, and if he was happy with my landings, he would step out of the plane. On Monday night, the weather forecast was showing IFR conditions and mist at 8am, but happily the sky was pretty clear when I woke up. We then did a short approach and I came in way too high and had to go around. My final landing was ok – a few issues w...
