Coming back to Earth 

Its been a while since I wrote anything. A couple of posts are from flights that were made earlier. I will try to be regular, but no promises. The following is for a flight for septemeber the 23rd

Added 1.5 hours to my total, with today being pertty hectic. I thought we covered quite a few things. Instead to just trying to hold straight and level and turns and climbs, today was much much more. Approaches!! Yep, coming back to mother earth; and as instict tells you, when the earth comes up to meet you, you pull back on the stick to keep away. My CFI tells me its very natural for a new person to do that. I got a little over that habit today, but will have to work more on it. There are two reason you do not want to keep pulling on the stick, the first is offcourse you are going to go slow and then stall, the second, how will you land if you keep pulling up, you need to come down right? Its was a different aircraft too, this one name tree tree tree Uniform Mike or 333UM. The tree comes from the pronunciation fundas. When talking over the radio, the listener cannot see your lips move and hence it takes a little more effort to understand. To make it easier, some pronunciations are suggestion. Like, tree for 3, fife for 5 and niner for 9.
