well the weather has been awful in the North East recently (well on the days I'm booked to fly any way!
)
I managed to get a lesson on Thursday but the wind was horrendus, ATIS and ATC was saying 15kts but my instructor reckoned it was more like 22kts!
anyway, up we went and my god was it bumpy.. we flew up to the training grounds north of Morpeth for some PFL's - this is the first time I'd done PFL's, (it was too windy for circuits) I managed to pull off one decent one but unfortunately there was a lot of military activity going on & it was decided what we head home. Landing was very interesting to say the least. I knew the crosswind was going to be bad but it still didn't prepare me for how much rudder and opposite alieron was needed, suffice to say I cocked it up! I really need to get these crosswind landings nailed..
