Today was originally supposed to be the last hour of simulated instrument flight until cross-country flights start. However, the cloud ceiling was pretty low and it was pretty windy. So I was going to be flying low in heavy winds, which is not the ideal way to do simulated instrument flight. Instead, we moved on to the next set of lessons, turns about a point and s-turns. Both of which are easier to see (and more challenging) with a strong wind, as the plane gets moved much more with the strong wind. I got the hang of both pretty quickly, although I need some practice on s-turns. I was slightly misestimating where I was compared to the reference line, so I would roll out a bit early. But nothing that I can’t correct with a little bit of practice.

Next flight (on Monday) is either more simulated instrument practice or landings, depending on what the weather is doing.
