Well today was a great success. With anticipation the weather being bad, I scheduled a flight with Brett for some training and the plan worked. The ceilings were low, so we got a IFR departure and went VFR once we were above the clouds. It was awesome to to take off into the clouds and just follow the instruments. I can't wait til I start my instrument training.
Once above the clouds Brett ran me through the standard maneuvers for the test, and we reviewed lost procedures again, review the requirements for a in-flight diversion. Once done, I headed back to Montgomery. After listening to the weather, I knew I'd have my work cut out for me. The winds were 12kts gusting to 24, about 10 degrees off the nose.
The landing was great, just then "there a plane crashed again go around" so airborne we went. Soon I was landing again on 28R again. This time we taxied back to the ramp. I felt good, a little bummed I didn't have a chance to practice maneuvers before the lesson but I did ok.
After closing up the plane, I meet with Brett for the debrief. He told me he completed 80% of the check ride and I would have done well. Sweet!!! Next we went over my plans for my planned cross country tomorrow. He found a few items I missed or got mixed up on, so he wanted me to correct them and send the revised plans to him.
As we reviewed the logbook, he informed me he increased my cross wind limitations after today's landings. Wow, that made me super happy. I love doing landings so when they are complemented its great.
