First flight instruction lesson...at N51 Solberg
30min flight in Cessna 152 N714YH (see cockpit)
Weather: 26 13:53 Vrbl 3 10.00 Overcast OVC075 61 29 62 48 30% NA NA 29.66 1004.3
1) Walk-around - from pilot's seat clockwise: (a) wings: check screws (4) in ailerons, counterweights (3), surfaces for deformation, leading edges, windshield, 3 point fuel check (dump some fuel in the bottom one), check tire pressure (press with foot), traces of oil under the place, check min 4gallons of oil is present, 5gl for x-country, check fuel level (we had 7gl R+8gl L)
2) pre-takeoff: check seat all the way to the back; tighten seat belts; prime when it is cold; before start pull throttle 1/4inch (extend the finger, and pull back 1/2nail)
3) takeoff: mixture rich; roll at 50
4) flying notes: holding horizontal when the curving scratch is on the horizon, turning: do not be timid; on together off together; no more than 30deg (note to myself: "don't become gauge-happy"); apply rudder smoothly when ailerons are deflected; apply back pressure to maintain altitude
5) landing: trim for descent (2 trim rolls); get to pattern alt. (1200AGL for N51) and let the CFI land
