Sunday is definitely my favorite day! To my habit, I take the 8:30 time slot, which has its advantages and pitfalls of this: for example, one benefit is to arrive at St-Cyr and watch a beautiful sunrise ... behind the clouds ... ; Or steal almost alone in the lap ... remained empty for a reason ... But the pitfalls of this are more obvious: for example, 1:30 to transport because the frequency of trains on Sunday morning is reduced ... get up at 5:30 and put the veil around 6:45 hope to arrive at HQ at about 8:15 ... But ultimately, it comes to take the lead on something absolutely useless.
You will understand then, after 1h30 of transport, I arrived at HQ at about 8:15 when my first instinct is to watch the weather. Actually, "watching" as the term is fairly low, I look rather the slightest change in weather is quite low as a term, I look rather the slightest change in weather. Anyway, hope for a miracle is not always the best way to fly.
This morning, we announced METAR Toussus a pretty SCT013 OVC024 followed by a . To top it off, he is dressed a TEMPO 4000 -RADZ (temporarily reducing the passage of drizzle visitors to 4km). And finally, the icing on the cake, the whole is topped by a wind from the south to 15 knots, gusting to 28 as marked in the METAR: 18015G28KT . The TEMSI is no better: it shows us a nice cold front, with moderate to severe turbulence at ground level 50. There will be no miracles this morning so. The verdict is clear: It was decided not to leave today.
After learning that not only gave METAR elevations, but the height of cloud base, the only element that really scared now because it is this phenomenon of TEMPO-RADZ. Alexander tells me we will have time to see happen ... if I tried not fly nose in the instruments (ah bad habits Flight Sim!). In the end, will know by what miracle, I find myself preparing the aircraft to do laps with this weather, in full contradiction with the initial decision. And it will still be a very productive flight instruction!
Bad surprise by consulting the logbook of the aircraft must refuel (the aircraft had flown about 3h20). I do not have good memories of my last full . When filling is done, I tested the "click" more than ten times, and I ask to check the meter, which showed 59L ... a little weak, but more correct than the last time. The instructor, acquired by trust, also tests the click a few times.
ATIS will complete the following:
" The Touch and Go and laps led back to the breakpoint are suspended "
" - Tour Saint-Cyr, Victor-Foxtrot Papa hello.
- Foxtrot-Victor Papa, Saint-Cyr hello.
- Foxtrot-Victor Papa, a DR42 pumps, Alpha information, for laps.
- euuuuh Foxtrot ... -Victor Papa, you have an instructor edge?
- Affirms. [...]"
What follows is a negotiation for the runway to take a very small place, because we are the only traffic in the area. The kindness of the tower is remarkable, as in those towers solo track, where I almost forgot to go so I did! After the engine tests, we find ourselves at the breakpoint. The departure briefing is somewhat changed.
"We'll take off Runway 29 Left at Saint-Cyr, wet grass airstrip not limiting. The wind is full left over. Speeds: 100 km / h rotation, 120 initial climb, climb the normal 145-150. In case of failure before rotation is reduced while you brake sparingly; minor failure after rotation, we adapted lap back and landed at 29; major breakdown after rotation one hand makes it arises in a field. Got questions? "
" - Foxtrot-Victor Papa, breakpoint 29L ready.
- Foxtrot-Victor Papa, Line up runway 29L, cleared for takeoff wind from 180 ° at 12 knots
- Cleared off, Victor-Foxtrot Papa. "
The readback at 8am, I do not particularly successful. It repeats.
" - Foxtrot-Victor Papa, correction, cleared for takeoff runway 29L "
The small grass strip in St. Cyr had turned into real sticky mud. is a great opportunity, we will try to say first off the court:" the parking brake: tight; full throttle: it has the power, we loose the brakes! The airspeed indicator is active ... no alarm, a decision it continues! "A take-off due to poor track well fat, I'm very reassured to have an instructor beside me. This will be invaluable in this Sunday morning! The TEMSI showed us the lovely acronym moderate turbulence locally heavy. Accordingly, Alexander asks me to tighten my belt. A first lap to get used to, a base with a descent rate too high (remember that base, we face 15kt). It delivers the gas-cf-ATIS, presumably to preserve the beautiful grass runway of St. Cyr ... The plate, then power, fast and faster, heats it and the rear flap. TdP is the second best, but I still can not project myself into action to do, to anticipate. That will come with experience, surely. In the meantime, we are alone in the lap of St. Cyr.
" - Foxtrot-Victor Papa, 29L basis.
- Foxtrot-Victor Papa, authorized 29L, winds 180 degrees to 15 knots.
- authorized 29L, Victor-Foxtrot Papa. "
and it is the same arena
" - Foxtrot-Victor Papa, go around. "
But experience running short: grit bearing down on us, and frankly, I do not know what to do ... then think about Alexander looks for a low height and full. (J ' Will still have to think in full, but no, not even ...). This is also one of the utility of low-height: time lap is shorter and faster one is asked! (how to forget my Low height first day of my release solo ?).
"Every takeoff is optional, every landing is mandatory. "
We chose to go now, have to land. Mancha in the wind, walk cons. We keep 110-speed AFM-120-usual speed-or 130-mark for crosswind-? Come on, we will not break the glans, it will take 120, as always .
" - Foxtrot-Victor Papa, cleared to land 29L winds 180 ° at 10 knots.
- Authorized landing 29L, Victor-Foxtrot Papa. "
We pass the threshold, I reduce. From the foot to the right, left sleeve, and they pitched well ... we touch.
" Do not brake! "the instructor then repeats we continue to move forward on the wet runway
" Do not brake! " my hand is already positioned on the brakes ...
" Do not brake! " finally it crawls, and there's more to return to the parking kingfishers.
The wet track, a bit of a brake can make a nice slide to the aircraft, without slowing it down ... Thank you Alex
We go quietly to the parking Alcyons ... there is nobody. The doors remain closed clubs, and their aircraft are in the hangar, which is also closed. Alexander asks:
" - Foxtrot-Victor Papa, we could have a clearance to go pick mushrooms walk on the runway in 10 minutes? "
Then Alex was good?;-P During the debriefing, Alexander said he was pleased with my landing, he had not needed to help me, I did everything alone. Good for me. Time to let the rain, digest the day's lesson, and I will make crosswind: I have work to do!
Aircraft retracting the hangar. Considering the weather, I doubt he moves up tomorrow morning. Already, I asked Alexander if he wants a nav for next time. Go to Chartres, and my first landing on a runway hard. In my entry into the clubhouse, Rudolph, one of the instructors of the club, me lance So, you're going to make the IFR? "D-Not immediately, Rudolph, perhaps in a few years!
