At last it's happened... first lesson has now been done.
Well, I've waited quite a few years, but now I've finally got off my backside and set off down the road to earn a PPL.
Weather was quite fine, initially CAVOK with a bit of a surface wind (11 knots), got a bit cloudier towards the end but that was still fine. Slightly bumpy at times but nothing uncomfortable.
Flew mostly between 1500 and 2500 feet over East Lothian, detail included effects and further effects of controls, slipstream, power settings and trimming. Was very enjoyable. Total flight time was 1:05.
Tomahawk seems a nice enough aeroplane... seems to fly nicely enough, not that I'm an expert or anything however, just seems fine to me. Fine room in the cockpit, excellent visibility.
Can't wait for the next lesson in two weeks' time!
Many thanks to Instructor Jack Simpson at Edinburgh Flying Club for a most excellent lesson!
