Lesson 29 - Basic Instrument Flying

6 March 2012

VH-TXH Piper Warrior III

Takeoff - Moorabbin (YMMB)  17L

Weather - QNH 1023, ~18C, Overcast (~2000ft) clearing, 
                 12kt (20kt gusts) max 8kt crosswind, SW-SSW. 



Wasn't sure what I'd be doing today.  There was a lot of low cloud around especially towards the training area but it seemed to be breaking up.  I doubted we would be doing more stall practice, maybe forced landings or some solo circuits.  I was wrong, it was time for an introduction to instrument flying.
