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.
