![]() Any beginners interested in chatting about their experiences thus far? I some time practicing various stalls, turning stalls, and turning stall with airbrakes, and it was lots of fun. Was also practicing take offs and landing approach, but due to the 15knt wind the instructor would take over just before touch down (about 20 feet up). Last approach of the day, made the 800ft downwind, 600ft base leg, 400ft turning onto final approach then to my surprise I see the tow plane towing a glider directly towards us up the runway. I told the instructor "tow plane 10 o'clock low!" and he quickly took over the controls, circled avoiding the tow plane and landed us safely. Exciting moment for me to say the least. Instructor and tow pilot had a little chat off to the side afterwards. Everything else went great, had a lot of fun. Looking forward to next weekend. |
