Solo Navigation
Today I completed my first ever solo journey out of the local airfield vicinity. I have done a fair amount of solo flying but up until now, only in the circuit at Sherburn. This means plenty of take-offs and landings but not much radio and navigation work. Today was the day when instructor Jonathan [...]
iNavigation
Friday, July 26 – Time for another section of navigation exercises from Sherburn. This time I had some technical testing and questions in mind as well as the actual navigation exercise.

Just a quickie… I went over to Sherburn today to do the final preparation for next week’s navigation exercise. We’ll be flying to Bridlington and Brough. So I need to get the procedure straight.

Lots of music and flying related things going on.
Most notable news would be that I have now passed three more of the PPL exams.
After passing Air Law late in 2008, I realised (rather late) that I have only a remaining six months to pass all six other exams. Luckily the exams [...]

Top 10 list of Google Wave related things I find myself answering for people (and wishing they would listen to):
Update your profile as soon as you can. Add a picture. So you don’t look like a random web item with no personality.

Google Wave / Windows 7 / Back in the Air
Earlier this week I managed to procure an invite to try out the new Google Wave communication system. Something I’ve been waiting to get my hands on since first seeing the developer preview video on YouTube a few months ago.
