Short and Sweet
10/22/12
Things are getting much more easier to do. Preflight is done quicker, checklist procedures are completely faster, and engine start is done at a faster pace. Getting airborne now doesn't take as long. If I went through the whole process of taxi, run-up, and takoff, then I'd just be repeating myself. Only, the only different thing was that my takeoff was crosswind and I didn't even know it. Craig just told me after.
Again, if I went through the Basic 4 maneuvers, slow flight, I'd just be repeating myself. My father was with me on this flight. He had never been in a general aviation aircraft before and he said he enjoyed the expierence. No stalls or spins were completed because if they were, a not-so-pleasant experience would have been given to my passenger, and that's not the point. It was a short flight, however.
I did manage to get my dad to take a clip of my takeoff. So, enjoy the perspective from a rear-seat view from a takeoff out of JXN.
