Night flight over Carlsbad airport as part of preparations for our first flight-sale adventure. On Friday, November 28, 2008 I team up with 3 other people from San Diego and we fly on a small plane Piper Warrior to Camarillo Airport close to Channel Islands Harbor www.channelislandsharbor.org There well sail out together with 5 other people (9 people total) on Catalina 350 Palapa: marinasailing.com to Anacapa island: www.nps.gov and return back same day. This night flight on November 13 over Carlsbad airport is a part of our preparations for our first flight-sale adventure. We are meeting in Palomar Airport (KCRQ) at Orion Aviation – West. We can fly only VFR with cross-wind not more than 10 knots. If we do not have VMC we cancel the flight and (if we do not cancel the sailing) drive to Channel Islands Harbor. We are going fly back after sailing (if we have VMC) and we practiced with Sergey night landing in KCRQ.

Flying lesson in a PIPER PA-28-180 Cherokee. This is a four seater aircraft which meant I could take up my expert cameraman and another passenger. The weather conditions were quite extreme with a strong crosswind up to the limit of the aircraft on take-off and slightly better on landings (note when landing we’re not facing down the runway – this makes it more fun). We managed to do quite a lot in the hour. Breaking cloudbase was fantastic as was pulling two G in steep banked turns. The trick appears to be not to over compensate as the aircraft does not handle like a car. The plane will pretty much fly itself in a straight line given the right conditions.
