Final Approach
Well, Scott Purdue (Gunny) has convinced me I will benefit from Upset/recovery training; so, this Friday and Saturday, we'll be out in his Extra working on his program.
When he initially proposed this course several months ago, I was a sceptic; asked why I would need something like this when I liked keeping the blue side up and never had had a problem with that. After some talking and reviewing a couple accident reports, I can now see how it could be beneficial; so, here goes.
Those of you that know me realize my planes have been kinds of mini airliners; not aerobatic instruments. I've done a couple rolls and loops in an RV and didn't enjoy that enough to run down that road. Anyway, we'll see how it goes and see how beneficial I believe it is after getting Gunny's advise and flying in the Extra.
Diana knows about this and wants a first hand report. She thinks I may want an Extra after this program
Best,
Dave
