Flying Training

Lesson 2: Effects of Controls 2

Sunday 6 November 2005 at 8.00am with Kerry Scott in Citabria VH-RRW

This is a lesson in how quickly you can forget even an interesting event if you don't write it down shortly afterwards. I can remember deciding to take two lessons on the same day (I was keen to get moving quickly and money didn't seem to be a problem), but of this particular flight I have no memory whatsoever. Still, I presume I absorbed at least some of what Kerry told me, which would have covered the secondary effects of the controls. I'll check my student file at Curtis and get back to you.

In the meantime, here are some pictures I took before the flight.
