More crosswinds. . . .
I still can't log that third supervised solo, but I did get to work on x-winds again today. Thanks to a thread over at studentpilot.com, they went a LOT better today. Well some of them did, 2 called for go-arounds. But in both of those cases I know where I screwed up.
I'm getting used to the odd picture that landing on a x-wind gives you, so that's good.
And after 11 days off, it felt great to get back in the air. Hopefully tomorrow will stay clear and those winds will swing another 30-50 degrees to the west. . . .
However, although I'd like to get my last supervised solo out of the way, I was glad to have a chance to work the x-winds again. Especially since I had such a hard time with them last time out. I was certainly glad for the opportunity to fly, solo, x-winds, or whatever.
