Did another flight today at Tyabb in a Cessna 152, a new one too
It was much better kept than the last one i went in
and the instructor was a bit more friendly
Anyway i did steep turns, a hover (because the wind was really strong), saw my house, saw my school, landed & took off (very hard in crosswinds
) and controlled the aircraft the whole time except when taking photos.
All the photos are on my Phone so i won't upload them til later.
This is the C-152 i went in, not sure if it's new but it's very well maintained

Glad you're enjoying your flying. It's a long time since I had anything to do with it but it all seems very different from my day.

Not sure I agree with taking photos during instruction. Call me old-fashioned but I think you should leave the camera on the ground & concentrate on the flying. It's costing you enough.

They stopped production of the C152 in 1985 so it's not as new as it looks.

No this was for Aviation class so it was costing me nothing. I asked the instructor if i was allowed to use the camera too so don't worry about it
It's really fun getting up in the air

I'm not worried or suggesting you did anything wrong. I'm sure your instructor knows what he's doing. I'm just an old git with old-fashioned ideas.

Maybe in an airliner.
I can't really see how a phone could mess up any of the planes' electronics.

May be a bad idea to have a phone on when doing navigation work w/ VORs & NDBs, but in this case there shouldn't have been a problem. That is an absolutely lovely & classy livery on that aircraft! I wish we had them painted up like that around here.

Yep it's fantastic and i didn't mean new sorry i chose the wrong word i ment to say something more on the lines of well maintained, it also has new radio in it instead of the standard ones and some really comfy headsets
They recently overhauled a C-152 there but it doesn't reach Max RPM at the moment, they suspect it's the new propeller so they are getting a new one.
