It has been a while since I have had some time to post, let alone sleep (most of our days we start flying around 6:00 or 7:00am with an hour of preflight before that). So much has happened in the last week. For starters: I flew Solo! Which is an amazing experience. It was not the first time since I started flying in High school. Nevertheless, it was a great to do it again the "Moody way." We have been receiving a fantastic education. Every flight is carefully planned and executed down to the smallest details. It is very comforting to know that your lack of experience as a pilot is cushioned by a strong system of checklists and procedures resulting in very safe flying. I have been working on collecting some more video of my flying and when I get a chance to edit it into something a little less boring to watch I will put that up. Until then, this is a shot from my solo flight today. I was flying along about 20 miles north of our airport working on some procedures when I developed a new found appreciation for Flight Following (friendly radio people who sit in dark rooms all day and try and keep all the little green lights on their radar screens from bumping into each other). They called me up and said "Skyhawk 7275D, traffic is two miles, 9 o'clock, Boeing 747, Descend immediately at or below 5,000." That is airplane talk for: if you don't move it now, you are going to be a small splat on the windscreen of a very big jet. Thank you Flight Following! Another exciting day at the office.
