Flying Training
Lesson 16: Circuits
Saturday 18 February 2006 at 8.00am with Kerry Scott in Citabria VH-MWY
Weather: cool at first, warmed up later; scattered high cloud.
Training area for some slow-speed flight, then circuits on 06. Also visited the tower, and had a look at the somewhat dismantled RRW (see below) which was being repaired after a slight altercation with a hangar door.

Instructor's notes: "Revision T/A + CTS. Circuit accuracy improved & approach became more consistent."
