My first proper lesson . ...
Woke up to fog, rang aerodrome, they reported decent cloud base and some blue sky.
As I drove down the weather improved and we ended up with scattered above 3,000', blue skies, wind light, almost straight down the runway.
Met my istructor. It was weird not shaking hands.
Briefing on control surfaces, cockpit rules and mask protocol
We did LOTS of work. I found I am heavy handed, not quick enough to level the wings, and prone to miss the datum point on recovery
My FI made me repeat many of the manoeuvres to get a grip, so the time flew by. I loved it all (except sideslipping as we descended on the rudder exercises )
After landing he got me to taxi to the apron but our track was a bit wiggly! I think that will be better long before my air handling
In conclusion, everything I was told about flying being addictive was true!
