CPL day 20

Got to go flying again - woohoo!

Though the vis was pretty poor (borderline for VFR) Roger was happy for us to go where Brian hadn't been earlier in the week. The plan for Blyton was out because of the zone transit (see the next post), so we were given the relatively easy Market Weighton route, though from Dewsbury.

Again, can't remember much of the detail, but the initial nav went well, though I had to make a heading correction and didn't write it down. The divert was to Helmsley which is about 6 miles east of the white horse on Sutton Bank. It went well enough with a heading change being required, but this time I remembered to write it down on the plog. Found Helmsley quite easily despite it being only slightly larger than a small village.

Then "diverted" back to Harrogate and landed as normal. The main thing that came out of this trip (mainly from Dave's flight) if I remember correctly was that we need to stop feature crawling. This means flying with 99% looking outside the window using prominent features rather than every pissy little village and road (an exaggeration but illustrates the point).
