About 80% of general aviation aircraft fly using Lycoming engines. Clearing the trees at the end of the runway. Leaving 4500ft for 6500ft. Maintaining airflow and generating lift across the wings. All are impossible without a reliable engine. Lycoming powers my training aircraft and so fuels my quest for a private pilot certificate. This blog is a record of my thoughts and experiences on life, flight, and learning.

Blue Skies

Flew out to KSGH (Springfield, OH) to give my in-laws a ride and do some sight-seeing. It was clear and beautiful. Winds at 6500ft on the way over were ~40-45kts out of the north, but things soon settled down. It was calm and peaceful on the way back, and I think that Beth likes night flying a lot better than slogging over the mountains in turbulent air. I agree - it's hard to beat that 70-80mile visibility, and rock-solid air at 3500ft.
