Greetings one and all,
It’s the time of year – wet and windy weather, soggy grass runways, little daylight time, too much Xmas spirit…… It happened this time last year – 3 months of not flying. My log book entry is dated 19/10/02.
If last year was anything to go by a check-out flight will be needed (club rule) with an instructor and I’ll get in and won’t for the life of me remember where the nav lights switch is, how to switch the radio on, miss something important off the check list, etc.
But once I start rolling down the runway everything comes back to me and everything feels as familiar as it was when I last flew. Just like riding a bike for the first time after a few years. Until the landing and you forget something like full pre-landing checks!
Just wondered if others have similar thoughts and feelings after not flying for some time?
