first flight

sorry it took so long to update the blog. but last monday, 4 april 2011, took my first flight as a student. my logbook now includes 0.6 hours of flight time. nothing phenomenal, really. started off with weight & balance since we expected to actually fly today. cessna 152s don't hold a lot at all. then we went over a preflight again, checking out the plane and just making sure it's ready to claw for the sky. then we went ahead and taxied out to the run-up area, did a run-up, then took off. as it was getting near the end of our lesson time, we only had time for a flight around the pattern then landed again. also, as kpoc is a towered class d field, i got a first chance at radio comm. needless to say, i need to have a little more practice on that front. i guess i'll have plenty time to work on that since i need at least 39.4 more hours before i can get certificated. can't wait for wednesday's lesson!

total time: 0.6
