Monday
Mainly circuits today for the course members with just a little hint of soaring during the best part of the day. - Good for training though.
Tuesday
Circuits again to start with although the forecast promised more. By lunchtime the soaring had got going and Pete 230, Eric in G29 and later Pete & Jill in OL and Robert in DKU all took spare cables while the Course members were enjoying their best day.
With some high cloud trying to push in from the East, Exmoor was the place to be, but north westerly streets kept coming to an end with cloud bases lowering over the higher ground and some sea air came in from Barnstaple, so flights were limited to sightseeing. No sign of the promised convergence on the south coast.
Wednesday
The forecast was not good with rain forecast for all day, and the course members had their fill of lectures on circuit planning and winching. The evening ATC group had to be cancelled along with the Trial lessons.
Thursday
Low cloud or orographic in the light southerly again put paid to any chance of flying, The course members were drilled through questions from the Bronze confuser, whilst the ASH25 and the Eagle were prepared for their trips to Pocklington 2 seater Comp.
Over lunch everyone watched the great 'A week's fine soaring' video followed by a repeat of the R/T Training presentation. given by Jonathan.
Friday
Another disappointing forecast,
with fog obscuring the beech trees all day, but there was a little practice using Paul's latest version of Condor.
Can't wait until we get the proper simulator room sorted and can do some proper training with it!
