Week of 1 to 5 October

Very busy day on Monday, with 4 unscheduled students. Fortunately we had an unsheduled instrutor as well, so two two-seaters were going flat out. 3 young RAAF student pilots came out and flew very well - covered most of the syllabus in 2 or 3 flights!

My students for the week were Doug and Wes Knight, a father and son pair! We lost a day on Wednesday due to hot gusty and strong winds, but flew every other day.

Neither student went solo this week, but they enjoyed the flying anyway, and made some good progress. Wes was particularly good at aero-towing, and hooking into thermals, but needs a bit more landing practice as yet!

On Friday afternoon I made a brief excursion into Tamworth by Jabiru to pick up a radio. Good practice for controlled airspace.
