I found a new rental opportunity at CYBW (Springbank, Alberta) with a brand
new 172SP the other day and today went out for a Mountain check ride with the chief CFI. Now, I did two mountain courses over the past 18 months - one with my original training outfit and one with the local flying club. All well. Ridge approaches, choosing the right side of the valley, updrafts, downdrafts, lenticular clouds, rotors, 45 degrees turns, etc. Today we did canyon turns, not at 30, not at 45 but more than 45 degrees. Sort of standing the airplane on its wingtip as we turn. YIKES. I just could not get it all together. What a mess. Any more of a mess and it would have been a real mess, the kind you need soap and Lysol for. So, no more mountain flying until I can get this right. Anyways folks, any suggestions? I am going to try to get this right another day. Marc |
