I didn't track my whole day because it was just more of the same. The purple is my Test Flight..... and I passed. 😇

The morning started out dead calm with take-off and landing from runway 14. I got told off for not doing a flyover on my solo return from the training area. The wind was up and had reversed so I actually landed down-wind. I had been away for an hour and never checked the windsock. 

 

By the time I got to my test there was a strong varying crosswind so my landings were a little less than smooth but I think I was given a bit of a concession for the gusty conditions. Tomorrow was meant to be the Sportstar test flight and my variable pitch propeller endorsement but the weather is likely to put a stop to that.

Congratulations Moneybox, we have all felt your struggle with distance, instructors, aircraft, weather and other things. Well done, now just practice practice and hone those skills.

I flew from the Murray River to the Hunter Valley around a week ago. The ‘green’ didn’t start until north of Wagga.  Lots of crop failures in Victoria this year and a dry spring knocked yields around in parts of central western NSW. For those that know the area, north of Dubbo the crops were pretty good.

i think these pics were near Cootamundra, but I wasn’t the photographer.

Enjoyed an overnighter at our favourite bbq beach site with flying friends then an early start back to Palmyra for the Mackay Aero Club bbq event. Hazy skies due to our bush fire season.
