more lessons

Lance and I meet up twice a week and fly for about an hour and a half. Usually on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. I've been introduced to "my" aircraft. A little Piper Cherokee 180. Nice plane, good radio stack with dual nav and com, and a fresh engine. First time behind the controls and I'm in love with this thing. The controls are a little heavier than the Cessna, but I enjoy flying it a little better for whatever reason. We head out to the practice area to start running through maneuvers. I nailed my steep (45 degree bank) turns effortlessly the first time out. We worked on turns around a point, and S-turns. A couple of the lessons were "flying under the hood" basically putting on a mask that won't let you see outside the aircraft so you must fly solely by the reference of your instruments. Lance is still handling the landing for time being.
