A beautiful evening, and apart from my gliding colleagues it seemed I had the Norfolk skies all to myself. Looks like a great weekend coming up as well.

east_sider, don't believe what you've been told about safety, not letting first solo students go up in conditions they can't handle and such. The only reason they do not let you go out on windy days is that you'll remember your first solo forever, and instructors know this. So they want the memory to be good. CAVOK and wind calm makes a perfect memory.
Sunday and Monday look good, at least where I am. Might be a bit windy though.

I've been stuck on the ground due ear infection/cold....so have been catching up on my studies for IMC/ATPLS. Oh joy! Doesn't help that the view out of my window right now is showing clear skies too!

Just got around to looking at my daughter's photos from Wednesday. We had our first family day out and here we are descending deadside for 02 at Caernarfon. The conditions were perfect and there was hardly any traffic.

I've spent a couple of hours in a classroom doing Nav (with a very nice man) and then spent the rest of the day sitting in the sun watching OTHER people flying 
.
But the wx forecast for tomorrow is good
...so I should get a PPL lesson in, followed closely by a stress busting aeros session .

A quick trip down to Shobdon via Wrexham from Barton in the sunshine and back in time for lunch. Flat as a fluke at FL35 on the way down, true hands-off flying for minutes at a time - fantastic!
