Hey guys and girls,
Been a while since my last post - I'm sorry about that! I know you are dying to know what I've been up to this past month. Truth is - busy holiday! I've not flown a lot since I moved on to the DA40, just 5 missions! Guess IFR is much slower, and also thanks to a couple of other circumstances (problems with instructors' licenses, accident (sure you heard about it by now), we have been slowed quite a little bit, but hopefully we will pick up after new year.
The Diamond 40 is much easier to fly, landing is peanuts compared to the Archer, and it flies beautifully. Unlike the Piper, it looks like it's meant to fly. It just does not sink, it's like a glider with an engine. Looking forward to flying some approaches with it during the next month.
Positive note is my parents came to visit, so I had a touch of home this Christmas! We toured Sedona, 'some' shops in Phoenix, went up to Fountain Hills and Rio Verde (which I overflew endless times with my small Piper), and spent the last four days in Las Vegas, strolling through the endless casinos, shows and beautiful mockups (they even built a replica of the Eiffel Tower!!!) I am now waiting for my plane back home to Phoenix - I am very tired after this holiday - but at least I have the weekend to get my strength up before my next flight. I am looking forward to fly now, cause it's all downhill to my CPL check and my return back home!!
Till the next one!!
Kris
