Pre-takeoff checklist
Hey everyone, I didn't want to hijack the other moutain flying post so here it goes:
I am going to find myself in North Carolina (mainly Winston Salem Area) between christmas and new years. (well, that's the plan anyway)
I will be on a rented plane and am looking for some instruction of the east coast hill flying.
I know it's not mountain flying, but I was raised in Florida and flown in Florida.
I went to SC/NC this past summer, flying, and I went a little west of Charlotte and I found myself dead scared of what the sectional told me were 1000-2000 foot hills. I got to about 3000 foot hills (which to me MONSTERS) and I turned around.
I am looking for a CFI near winston salem who would like to take this fear out of me, in my rented airplane. I Know that condition makes it extremely hard to find someone to fill the spot but the thing is
the plane minimums for rental is I believe 4 hours a day, and it's only about a 15 hours round trip from where I live so that gives me about 4 days from home and back home without paying for unflown hours SOOOOOO, the solution would be fly with my plane and I can stay in NC longer.
anyone have any tips?
This will be on a 172L if it makes any difference to whomever.
