It's time to fly! |
With out sounding weird I can't begin to express how much I miss flying with Mike B. With our move to Ocean City and his move to Boston we have each struggled finding people to fly with. Thankfully we text each other and call sometimes to discuss flying. I really need to get 08Romeo up to bean town and get us back flying. It's unbelievable but I miss his torture when flight training.

Here are the approaches I did today along with multiple procedure turns, VOR tacking and a hold.
KOQN - VOR-A (2)
KMIV - GPS10, GPS32
KWWD - GPS19, LOC19
I was surprised I didn't have more rust but I flew the needles pretty well and Bob only gave me a few corrections after he intentionally distracted me. I think he's enjoying that part.

As a follow up to the Collins radio issue. I will say muscle memory is a real deal. I reached for the audio panel multiple times to update AWOS and caught myself flipping the switch for comm 2.

Bob, your plane! |

Looks like a good workout, Gary. I've got lots of time left on my currency, but would love to do some more proficiency work.
Sorry to hear about Comm 2. I keep waiting for my ancient KX-170B #2 to quit, but, at this point, I think it will outlast the GNS-430W. :-)
Glad you were able to meet up with Bob. We'll have to meet you guys again for breakfast one of these days.
I have to say I maybe could have shot a few approaches on my own Saturday once the LIFR lifted a bit. However, its been awhile and I just didn't have the confidence in flying the needles. As Viper said to Mav..."you have a confidence problem".
After knocking out six approaches I have to say I feel really good. If we get some IFR conditions this week and they cancel work, I'm going to fly in some actual.
The age old current vs proficient. I'm feeling much better about being proficient, current is just along for the ride.
Where's Mike based out of again? OWD?
Feel free to make a connection, if he doesn't mind making the short hop over to LWM to pick me up, I'm happy to fly with him.

Adam,
Thanks! I forwarded this to his email. I hope I hear from him and that you both can catch up.
