RECREATIONAL PILOT CERTIFICATE: Lesson #13 Bad Weather Flying - Severe Turbulence | Student Pilot
Today I'm suppose to be getting checked out on the Jabiru 230. As it turns out, today's lesson is more about bad weather flying.
With 20kt winds gusting to 30kts, and moderate to severe turbulence forecast, this is one lesson that is really going to push my personal limits. To make matters worse, its a westerly wind, which in Wollongong means the wind drops off a 2000ft escarpment just before reaching the airport.
I'm glad I've got the instructor in the right seat for this one!
ABOUT ME:
I'm a student pilot learning to fly in my spare time. I originally received 30 hours of flying instruction 17 years ago and now I'm back in the cockpit and learning how to fly all over again.
Currently flying out of Wollongong (YWOL), Australia in light sport aircraft such as the Jabiru and Pipestrel alpha with Fly Illawarra:
