IFR Lesson 5: Solid!

I can’t remember what it’s for, but there’s this TV commercial where a guy arrives late for a work meeting and as he takes his seat he says, “Sorry I’m late, I was at a job interview…  Nailed it!”  Well, that’s what I am going to say about my lesson on Thursday; Nailed it!

We took off and headed to the practice area for some VOR related aerial activities.  After doing an airborne VOR check, I worked on intercepting radials inbound and outbound from various VORs.  My instructor Nick would say things like, “If you wanted to intercept the Linden VOR 270 radial inbound to the station, what would you do?”

I could tell you, but I’d have to kill you

Top SecretI’ve decided it’s time to let the cat out of the bag.  From now on, in my posts I am going to use my instructor’s real name instead of saying “my instructor” and the actual name of the flight school where I am flying istead of “flight school”.    I don’t have a good reason as to why I’ve kept this private until now, but perhaps I wanted to give it a few hours to see how it all worked out before I disclosed this information.   It’s not like this stuff is sensitive information, or something that I would want to keep private, but I guess I am just sort of conservative when it comes to sharing personal information, which is somewhat ironic because you are reading this on my blog.  ;-)

Anywhooo… I am flying at Ahart Aviation in Livermore California (KLVK) with my instructor Nick.  There, now you know!
