Flying Lesson Cancelled
Thursday (Jan 31) was set to be my first lesson after successful laser eye surgery. I am seeing well and was excited to get back in the cockpit and see if I remembered how to fly. The weather was not cooperating, however....
METAR KTKI 312153Z 30025G37KT 10SM FEW047 OVC075 03/M06 A3001 RMK AO2 PK WND 29039/2142 SLP175 T00281061While there is no stated limitation from the manufacturer on how much crosswind a Cessna 172 can land in, they do state that a pilot with average technique should be able to safely land with 15 knots of direct crosswind.
Today's wind was just about as direct a crosswind at mckinney as you can have and it was blowing steady at 25 knots with gusts of 37 knots. My instructor said, "We could go up, but I'm afraid I may end up doing most of the flying."
Next lesson: Wednesday, February 6.
Time logged this lesson: 0.0 hrs
