Day #6 5/15/23

 What's up blog,

    Today was a great day. After coming back from the weekend I felt more confident in my flying and also learned more things. I did all of the pre-flight procedures by myself without my instructor's help. I started up the engine and taxied down the runway. I did very well with taxying it was the first time that did fairly well doing that. We took off and worked on slow flight, S turns, and circling an object on the ground. These maneuvers were practiced for landing and circling a place where I would land. Hopefully, if we receive fair weather conditions I could apply them to possibly landing. I am looking forward to tomorrow and working more on these maneuvers. 

Hours at Concord Airport 2. (1-3)

Hours studied 5. (9-12)-(5-7)

Week #2 reflection 5/20/23

 Week two was a great week. I reached many goals that I had been striving to complete. I completed many new things such as better control of the aircraft, new maneuvers, and taking off by myself which I was really looking forward to doing. After every flight I talk with Henry and Jack about their experiences threw their flying and we all learn from each other which I think is very important for each others personal growth. These next two days are going to a great time of flying. I hope that weather is good so I can learn more. I am mostly looking forward to landing. This has posed to me as a must need to learn. It is the most critical part of flying. Takeoffs are optional but landings are mandatory. I feel that if I can land the plane by myself this senior project will be a today success. I’ve learned so much but I feel that this is the last thing that is needed for me in this adventure. The daily blogs that I do every night help me a lot with learning how to fly planes. I can truly re

5/13/23 first week blog

 What's up blog,     The first week is done and it has been great. I've learned so much in such a short time frame. Through studying and flying I've truly learned a lot. I have learned many maneuvers, how to climb, descend, and turn left and right. It has been so cool. My instructor still has been in more control of the plane than myself which is a bummer but I am still learning. I know that next week I will unlock more things to do in the aircraft. I am hoping for a great week next week full of many things. Mostly landing and taking off which would be so cool. This week was great and I am looking forward to the next.

Day #2 5/9/23

 Today was a very exciting day, I was able to go up and fly with my instructor today. I arrived at Concord Airport at 11AM and had a preview of what we were supposed to do today. My instructor and I checked the weather and then headed out to the plane. Here, my instructor, had me inspect the aircraft and do many checks to see if there is anything wrong and to prepare it for flight. After checking and preparing we hopped on the plane and started it up. We proceeded to taxi down the runway which in my opinion was the hardest part. Then we took off which my instructor did but when we got into the air I was able to fly the plane. I just did some simple maneuvers and also flew over Proctor which was very cool. My instructor also landed the plane which I carefully watched over because soon I'll be in control of taking off and landing. I am excited for tomorrow, to learn more and get back in the air.  Hours at Concord Airport 2. 11-1 Hours studied: 4 total: 1:30-3:30. Will study tonight 8
