With Wings As Eagles: Craig P. Steffen's Blog

It comes after twelve, honey

I had my 13th flying lesson today. My total dual instruction time is 13.1 hours. But the winds were too gusty for me to solo today.

The last few lessons have been pattern work, going around the pattern and doing touch and goes (landings into immediate take-offs). The wind was pretty bumpy today, but I was mostly on top of keeping the landings reasonable. There was one that would have been hard if the instructor hadn't done the flare.

I've had 13 lessons and hardly blogged about them at all. I'm going to go backwards and say a few words about some of the lessons.

As I go forward, I will try to blog about lessons more specifically. In the future, things will be more technical and less feel-based, so writing will be make more sense. There's a lot of stuff in the first 10+ hours of flight instrution that are pure feel, and they're very hard to describe.
