had my second flying lesson this afternoon. this time, a significantly higher amount of time was spent flying as compared to last time. my preflighting must be getting better. after performing the preflight, we went ahead and taxied again. i'm getting better at driving airplanes. only tried to turn it with the yoke once and stayed more on center this time. the run-up was standard as well. also, my radio comm nervousness from last time was greatly diminished this time around. cfi didn't have to interject this time. we received our clearance for departure and took off from 26r.
last time, we only had enough time to do a single lap around the pattern. this time, after taking off, we spent a good 20+ mins going over the four fundamentals of flight and their relation to each other. also spent time establishing the sight picture which is of course very crucial to the vfr/beginning pilot. a couple ascents and them some turns in both directions. i was trying to keep my focus outside and not on the instruments, but i apparently keep overbanking the normal turns, so he mentioned going straight for steep turns next time. of course, definitely doesn't mean i'll just bypass normal turns altogether.
anyway, that's the update for today. maybe one of these days i'll drag along the camera. but quite honestly, i really lack the time to sit around snapping pictures at this phase in the training.
time: 0.8 hrs
total time: 1.4 hrs
tit: 1.4 hrs
