This is a collection of my blog entries and experiences with flying, and learning to fly. Something I had been wanting to do for quite a while.
You can find all the pictures I've taken here, and read below for my experience:

After a 2-3 week break to rest from my IFR training, I scheduled my first training flight in a Trinidad TB20 in light IFR conditions.
The idea was to transition to a different plane, and learn the avionics. Unfortunately, the GPS screen didn't work that well so it was hard to learn from it. I'll likely need at least another time to get things right, but still, it was an interesting flight, except for the almost one hour spent on the ground in Santa Rosa while waiting for an IFR clearance to go back.








A few more pictures from the TB20 IFR flight .
The next day, I also got some training in a G1000 simulator to get used to the avionics, in preparation for C182/G1000 IFR training later.
