.... @tr7v8 But the wx was good, as predicted
My lesson was an important one, about being in the right frame of mind or rather...... not being in the right frame of mind.
I was behind the aircraft from shortly after TO, almost the whole lesson. I should have taken more notice of the 'Im Safe' personal checks as to fitness to fly. I now realise that some sad news received early this morning unexpectedly impacted my performance. As my nephew would say, 'My head was cabbaged'.
So I shall better consider the check next time-
Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotions. It was the emotions wot done for me.
Anyhoo, I stayed on after my lesson and watched my Instructor take an enthusiastic young woman for a 20 mins aero experience. They were mostly in sight of the field and he threw it about non-stop. I chatted to her relative as we watched and waited for them to return. The victim loved it and was last seen grinning from ear to ear, telling everyone she is going to book again.
