Powered by Lycoming

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.

A Very Blustery Day!

I know what Winnie-The-Pooh would say if he was looking at the METARs and winds aloft today...25KTs gusting to 38! It was a little much for me today, but it would've been fun to get out, climb to 9000FT and register a 200KT+ ground speed on the DA40.

"Oh the wind is lashing lustily,
And the trees are thrashing thrustily,
And the leaves are rustling gustily,
So it's rather safe to say,
That it seems that it may turn out to be,
It feels that it will undoubtedly,
It looks like a rather blustery day, today,
It sounds that it may turn out to be,
Feels that it will undoubtedly,
Looks like a rather blustery day today!"
