First BFR & back in the saddle again!
So... It has been almost exactly 2 yrs since I got my ticket to
learn... Today I went and sat with a CFI for the BFR... Finished one hour of the required verbal. Boy there is a lot of cob webs after 2 years... I did fairly well, huh.... had a brain block on the airspace... I could not remember what Class D looks like on the chart... DUH DUH DUH....I flew in and out of a Class D for 3 years and I could not remember to save my life... Ah well... I know now... hahaha Everything else was fine... So of into the wild blue yander... and boy was it wild... 14G20 and it was a crosswind at that... I always loved a challenge, but geesh... that is too much for me... I know it, but I always enjoyed testing the boundries when an instructor is on board... Anyway, We did Slow flight, stalls, XWind landings, engine out landing (simulated( and ran out of time... :-( I will go back next Saturday and finish it up and get the sign off.. All and all he said my procedures are solid, Communications excellent... so I feel pretty good... especially considering that I have been forced to be out of the cockpit since January 15th of last year. Most important, It is GREAT to be back in the saddle... Mike Alexander PP-ASEL Temecula, CA See my online aerial photo album at http://flying.4alexanders.com

I've noticed that some first time flyers, with brand new certificates... dread that first Flight Review. It is nothing to be feared.. BT "Mike 'Flyin'8'" wrote in message ... So...

White with a silver stripe and looks brand new. If you see someone thats looks mid 40's in the right seat its probably me. "Mike 'Flyin'8'" wrote in message ... So...

The flight review only requires one hour of flight training, and the content is flexible. Did you fly for at least an hour? If so, it seems like you covered a good range of material. I'm glad it went well for you and welcome back! Mike

I think he was willing to sign me off, but it was getting late and I
told him I wanted to come back next week for a little more dual... He asked if I minded waiting for sign off until next week... He said that next week we can go do the steep turns, and more emergency procedures... I am ALWAYS willing to practice the Emergency procedures with an instructor on board...Frankly I am more than fine with waiting a week... You did hit the nail right on the head... 140 hours is where I am sitting... I frankly had lost confidence from lack of practice over the past 50 weeks and a good workout is what I not only needed but was looking for... We only flew for 0.8 ahaahaha ... ah welll... :-) Mike 'Flyin'8' wrote: Anyway, We did Slow flight, stalls, XWind landings, engine out landing (simulated( and ran out of time... :-( I will go back next Saturday and finish it up and get the sign off..

It would be doing him a dis-service to sign off with the bear minimum, and it seems as though Mike is happy to get a good workout before he's let loose again.

The content and scope should be covered before you begin and then stick to it.
