So, another 1.3 hours today or 75 mins in real money. 24 degrees C, 10kt wind across the runway with 15kt gusts. Kinda fun! Also a busy circuit. Denham has quite a small circuit, with rotary traffic coming hither and thither students doing glide approaches and go-arounds leads to good fun - as long as you are on top of your game. Am I on top of mine? Well, 3.3 hours in the last two weeks after a one year layoff does not an ace pilot make but I felt I was getting somewhere today - actually driving the plane rather than being driven ;-)
Also, the local area nav is a little different. Simple procedures really but the first time I do it on my own will require 100% focus.
From the base leg on 06 you get a decent view of the city, Wembly (the arch) and Northolt - my back garden! T'other end is lakes - sweet. Nice to have some variety.
Notes to self:
Don't bank too much on climb out turning cross wind.
aim for a shallower than previous landing attitude,.
1000' out to VRPs and then 2300 strictly until clear of LTMA
Avoid Berkhampstead - corner of Luton zone
Aim for Bovingdon (BNN) and then VRPs for rejoin with RT @ BNN
That'll do for now.
Oh, and busier feet pls!
