About This Blog:

The primary purpose of this blog is to showcase the best of my aviation photography. As such, you will find links to my main aviation gallery on Facebook containing photos from aircraft spotting, some kind of aviation event such as air shows and fly-in events, as well as aviation museums. I also critique my flights on commercial airlines and the services they provide. Occassionally, you'll find personally written, independent articles based on news and current events involving aviation. And of course, I'll put up links to official and unofficial aviation-related websites when I find them. And when time permits, I'll talk and discuss about anything involving aviation. But most importantly, this is my way to document my journey into the aviation industry!

Pilot Life: Practice, Practice, Practice!

After yesterday's successful solo cross-country flight out to Delta, I flew once again with my flight instructor at my side.

Today's flight was on N968CT.

After a quick briefing and what the plan was, we got the pre-flight done and got started up. Once we did run-ups, I taxied us out to the runway and we got airborne. We headed south to the usual areas to practice up maneuvers. We did all the usual stuff, including steep turns, power-on and power-off stalls, as well as ground-reference maneuvers, including S-turns across a straight road and turns around a point.

Once done with the maneuvers, we headed back to the airport to practice some landings. We entered the pattern and we did four total circuits in order for me to practice short-field and soft-field landing and takeoff techniques. For the most part, I did fairly well but there's always room for improvement. After the fourth landing, we taxied back to the ramp, shut the engine down, filled out the logbook and called it another good flight.
