I did my 4th lesson today. Today was a lot different. 15 knot crosswind, strong winds aloft, and turbulence. We did power on and power off stalls. The winds were to the point where the instructor did the landing. He used almost all of the 3500 foot runway to get that 152 down, coming in a little faster than normal to maintain good control surface effectiveness in the wind.
Today's flight was a real eye opener. Flying in windy conditions is not easy. It gave me a tremendous appreciation for weather reports, and taught me that when I get my PPL I need to check said reports very carefully before deciding to fly. I would say that if I was a certificated pilot, I would not have flown today just for the sheer pleasure of it, would not have been worth it. Granted, I don't know what I am talking about yer (officially), but I am doubting that my opinion will change much. A 15 knot crosswind might not sound much to experienced pilots, I know.
