Hour 6 was a revision lesson, as there was too much mist in the area for ex9. We tried climbing above it, but as my lesson was at 1200 rather than the usual 0900, it was too high to rise above. So we done some more instrument work, climbs and descents, to brush up on previous lesson. I used the radios a fair bit today, giving position reports, approach requests etc. One thing that we heard over the radio from Liverpool tower to another aircraft after take off:
"you have a tail knot ten wind"
Poor guy got his words mixed up, which was quite funny at the time
So this lesson was simply marked as 'Rev' in the logbook, which is good as it helps me retain the skills I have learned in previous lessons and not let them fade out. One problem I had today was that on the landing, I reduced power to idle too quick, i rotated and should have waited a little longer before cutting power. It's funny because it seems that you are going to touchdown when really you still have a fair way to go!
Hopefully I will get airborne tomorrow, but due to forecast rain it may be unlikely
Until then!
