Lesson 3 was booked for last Sunday. As advised I called Stapleford just before I left home at 2 to check if the weather was ok, as it was a cloudy day. Requirements for a light aircraft below 3000ft and 140kts are clear of cloud and in sight of the surface at all times. Cloud base was around 2000ft so it should've been fine.
However.....by the time I arrived at the airfield it was obvious that the cloud was building. We sat in the clubhouse for the briefing hoping the cloud would lift but no luck, so it was just a 1 hour theory lesson on climbing and descending!
Still, as I type this the sun is shining, the forecast is for a super weekend and best of all I don't have to work tomorrow either! I think the skies will be busy on Sunday! Hopefully I will get to do the take off myself as well.
