		<description><![CDATA[So we finally got a nice weekend of sunny weather here in London. Blue skies forecasted for both Saturday and Sunday with one booking on each day. I decided to get some cross country time in by planning a trip to Chatham (CNZ3) which is a 5,000&#8242; uncontrolled strip 60 NM southwest of London. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To my surprise, my flight school recently received a brand new Diamond DA20 equipped with the Garmin G500 glass cockpit. Apart from flight sim, I have no glass time but I&#8217;m pleased to say that I&#8217;ve fallen in love. 
Aside from this new aircraft, the only other glass cockpits reside on the DA40&#8217;s at my [...]]]></description>

To think that I&#8217;ve been dreaming of being paid to fly and now it&#8217;s all starting to seem within reach. Last weekend marked a winter miracle here.

		<description><![CDATA[With all of the cross country flights I&#8217;ve been doing lately, I thought it would be a good day to go up and practice some airwork instead. It&#8217;s been a while since I worked on my steep turns and slow flight so a brush-up flight was in order. My handy iPhone recorded my track, altitude, [...]]]></description>

If you read my post from a few weeks ago, you&#8217;ll know that I was marked as failing my colour vision test on my last medical examination. As far as I&#8217;m aware, I can tell the difference between red and green, [...]]]></description>

It should be noted that although the aircraft is called a DA20, it&#8217;s symbol on [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s nothing terribly exciting and you may want to just skip ahead to when I get into the circuit, but I thought I would post it anyways. The video is from my iPhone so you won&#8217;t find any HD [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the first things you learn as a pilot is that a good landing stems from a good approach. In the jet world, pilots aim for a stabilized approach whereby the pilot configures the aircraft to travel at a certain airspeed and rate of descent straight down to the threshold. I recently read an [...]]]></description>

At the time, I had no other experience in any other aircraft so I couldn&#8217;t write a valid comparison between the two. Now however, I have about 60 hours in the [...]]]></description>
