Tom's Flying Blog: PPL Revision
http://zkvac.blogspot.com/2011/08/ppl-revision.html
Monday, 1 August 2011. Because of this, I ended up flying out to the West training area for some solo revision for my test. I used the Darfield North training area, which is stretches as far as Darfield to the south, Sheffield to the north and the Waimakariri River to the east. 23 March 2012 at 10:48. Still a pretty good score. Small private airplane lawsuit. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 17 going 1700 feet. Stories from the Sky. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

Tom's Flying Blog: PPL Flight Test
http://zkvac.blogspot.com/2011/08/ppl-flight-test.html
Sunday, 28 August 2011. Haven't been on in a while, been pretty busy this last week- had two exams - IFR Navigation and IFR Law (which I both passed, luckily) and finally got my PPL Flight Test done. As soon as I found out who I was testing with I was pretty excited. I had Charlie Elliott, a rather famous flight tester from Canterbury. Charlie's been a flight tester for a few years- he also did my Dad's PPL flight test back in 1976! Here's a map of where I flew on my Flight Test:. View PPL Flight Test.

Tom's Flying Blog: PPL Cross Countries
http://zkvac.blogspot.com/2011/09/ppl-cross-countries.html
Monday, 5 September 2011. Flying over NZCH before landing:. The modern glass cockpit in LJF. Holding short of the seal runway at NZCH. Methven with Mt Hutt in the background after a fresh coating of snow the night before. Heading up through the mountains in a Cherokee 140. The mouth of the Rangitata River. Not bad considering we plan for a 90kt cruise in the 140s! 23 March 2012 at 10:44. You were lucky to catch such a nice weather. Small private airplane lawsuit. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Making a Kiwi Fly: And not a moment too soon
http://flyinkiwi.blogspot.com/2014/10/and-not-moment-too-soon.html
Making a Kiwi Fly. My flying story from never been in a light plane before to PPL and beyond! Wednesday, October 29, 2014. And not a moment too soon. I went up in a Tecnam P2008 to get current again. When I opened the door I was greeted with a placard on the instrument panel stating that Vfe had been changed from 68 knots to 80 knots. You may remember I made comments about this when I first flew one. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. And not a moment too soon. Ziln NZ Airside ...

Making a Kiwi Fly: As the silly season descends
http://flyinkiwi.blogspot.com/2014/12/as-silly-season-descends.html
Making a Kiwi Fly. My flying story from never been in a light plane before to PPL and beyond! Thursday, December 18, 2014. As the silly season descends. Just a quick catch up. Three things I want to talk about. Chris has kindly given permission for me to link his quite exquisite photos, if you look carefully at the map above I have placed the approximate location they were taken in order. 1 Westbound looking towards Kawhia Harbour. 2 Interesting rock formation off the coast at 700' AGL and 123 knots.

Making a Kiwi Fly: September 2014
http://flyinkiwi.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Making a Kiwi Fly. My flying story from never been in a light plane before to PPL and beyond! Thursday, September 18, 2014. We had the club competitions recently to determine who would represent the club at the regionals. I entered my favourite competition and the one I am the defending champ, the liferaft drop. What was different this year was that we were going to use a Piper Pa28 Cherokee 181 Archer for the drop rather than the tried and true 172M JGP. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Stories from the Sky.

Making a Kiwi Fly: Cold n low
http://flyinkiwi.blogspot.com/2015/07/cold-n-low.html
Making a Kiwi Fly. My flying story from never been in a light plane before to PPL and beyond! Monday, July 27, 2015. The ATIS had a current temperature of 3 degrees C, a dew point of 2 degrees C and an air pressure reading of 1033mb. Compared with the ISA standard (15 degrees C and 1013mb) that's 12 degrees and 20mb better than ISA, so the magic density altitude formula. Third circuit was a normal one due to fellow club member and blogger Barry. That would be the 4th landing, as I slipped in a second gli...
