Went for a flight today in G-UFCI at Newtownards with my two nephews(8years and 11years).Instructor was Evra or Evan not sure cause he was very softly spoken.
I have been lucky enough to have amassed 8hrs of flying in the last 2-3years, but first time I have flown in one of the glass cockpit C172`s.
Took off and landed on runway 34,the approach is over the sea wall which is cool as people on the wall are only 30ft below you.
I didn`t fancy landing and taking off in the tricky conditions so let Evan do the honours.(I haven`t had much experience of crosswinds and using the rudder)
Today was just a 30min flight but was great fun,wind was pretty strong but luckily not too bumpy-sickbags not required.
Lots of fun toys with the glass cockpit set up-sadly I only had a disposable camera which I gave to my nephews cause I was busy up the front-so If any decent shots I will post them up.
Recommend it to all if you haven`t had a go.
