I enjoy flying with Renee as she takes flying seriously and keeps coming to a leason prepared to learn. Today we did unusual attitude which is when the sky is trying to kill you. She has learned to save herself and her passengers. Closing in on earning her license soon and she will make a good safe pilot.

Renee needed new connections for the radio and so off we go to Fort Pierce and the avionics shop. Spending a little to enjoy life with your plane. Now, one thinks of a plane as faster then a car, but you could be wrong.
Her time to 60mph in a car is 1.5 seconds.
And its a standard shift so changing gears is just as fast. Oh, and her 1/4 mile is 10 seconds.
High school level I am sure 🤔🤗

Some of you have never seen what it looks like up front of the plane, while taxiing. So here it is and as you can see pilots have to stay in the middle of the road. We dont really like driving since the highway roads are way to narrow.
We pilot stay in the middle so we do not end up in the grass. Thats why pilots fly and not to get hurt running into things. Much safer to fly.

Renee, loves to fly.
Even when we are not together, she is flying just about everywhere. This woman knows how to enjoy life and practice to maintain skills to remain competent. You also note that the grey shaded area is rain at at times we had to do a short approach. What a great way to learn to fly in the rain, and more.
Oh what fun it is to fly every day.

Today was a first for Renee as she navigated around florida and learned to understand and respect the instruments in her plane. She is wearing fogles to prevent looking outside as she navigated only with instruments.
Renee was very capable and made the adjustments to maintain altitude and headings. Yes climbs, descending turns all the while focusing on her instruments.
Good work Renee and after an hour, we went out for brunch At Okeechobee airport.

07/11/2024

So when Renee and I are out flying i asks, “What would you do if the engine quit”?
We were close to Treasure Coast Airpark but she didn’t know that. So she looks around see the runway so we should land their.
As a good instructor, i pull the power and tell her to land the plane, well an aborted approach and landing.

So much fun flying with Renee as she is closing in on her pilot license. Yes, relaxed and while doing the stalls she says “lets do it again”. The smile says it all, flying can be fun and yes, its a challenge too.

Renee and i had another fun flight and then had brunch at Okeechobe airport. I great place with cheap fuel to enjoy a few hours of flight time. Oh, and yes she has to top off the plane herself in case she flies alone somewhere.😄

Renee and i met over the phone and today was our first flight together. Yes she flew very well and tomorrow we do a practice pilot test then head out to a fine restaurant at Okeechobee airport. Yes, its fun to have two people on the flight to share the experience.

Issah and i are on a flight to understand the GPS navigation to various airport. And he must do this +- 1 degree on the heading and 25-50 feet on altitude. Easy right?
Yes, Issah made it look easy.

See what happens with an autopilot. You relax, view messages on your cell, or check the map function to see where you’ve been.
Flying with an autopilot makes it so much easier.

Bob and I are flying the jet helicopter R66 which has 5 seats and very comfortable. Now we just took off from Stuart airport and Bob says do you want to fly the helicopter. Well how could i not and he explained that a helicopter is not stable and any input will result in a undesirable or happy outcome.
So i flew the helicopter for almost 120 miles with only my hands on the controls. You can see my flight on the straight lines that i was a natural at the controls. Ok, time to buy one. 😂

For those that have not flown a jet helicopter, here is Bob and I on our way to have breakfast and top off the fuel tank.

Kim and I enjoying flying in beautiful Florida, fewer clouds, sure busy traffic but not disappointing. Kim was practicing instrument flying and using the autopilot to do all the work. Got it and very useful to have that knowledge.

Paul was a much better IFR pilot today and closer to our goals. Just time and skills will bring out the best in him.

Some are wondering when i will return to Vt and the answer is,??
Cathy is finishing the wiring and then we need to install the panel into the plane. Then i have to verify that it works as planned.
Cathy is a professional and has seversl placks on the wall showing the business achievements. I wait patiently, then i am the pilot that test everything.

Niki and I on a flight lesson as she demonstrates how well she can control the plane in level flight, steep turns, stalls and unusual attitudes. Her talent is growing stronger on every flight.

03/15/2024

Niki is close to earning her pilot license and here she is working on a short field landing. The objective was to touch down on the long white pad. Her next landing was to a full stop and it surprised her how short her landing was.

Here is Kim as we learn his autopilot together.
Somethings must be learned with two pilots on board to keep an eye on details. I think we now have more knowledge, so another flight soon to be sure.
