Crazy Spring Winds

[SMR05]

Well, If there's one thing that I learned this month, its patience. I'm ready for my solo cross-country, but these gusty winds have kept me from doing them. It's probably been the most frustrating thing I've run into so far in my training. At least I've gained a good amount of relatively strong cross-wind experience.

In the Dallas area? Just wait for summer....

AA used to fly ATR 42 twin turboprops between DFW and Waco. Those typically fly at 8000-10000. They got canceled every other day in the summer for weather, generally thunderstorms. Now, they are using pressurized jets, so that experience is a whole lot better.

There is no question patience is one of the most important lessons in flight training.

Yep, out of Addison. I just need a week of 150ish @ >10.

it's been bad here, too. We had winds gusting 35 on monday which is very unusual for us. Plus we've had a lot of rain (which we need), but I've definitely curtailed my flying b/c of weather.
