Description
I can be short about this flight. First the sky looked quite good for some circuits, with some broken clouds higher up.
When I arrived at the fields, some puffs of cloud were floating by lower. They then moved to the East and it was looking better after that.
So I did my thing, and after about 10 minutes of engine warm up, I was able to depart.
During take-off, the cloud deck was coming closer faster than I expected, and at 1000 ft I didn't feel comfortable to go even up to circuit altitude.
The South Westerly wind at 1000 ft was quite strong, compared to on the ground, so I quickly found mysef in the down-wind.
During the down-wind, I thought about stuff, and decided to call it a day already. So I announced I'll come back for a full stop.
I did a good landing, parked the Tecnam, and put it back inside. Shortest flight ever, but I'm happy I didn't stick around in a situation I felt uncomfortable with.
At least I did a circuit and a good landing!
The good news is, I took a picture this time! The bad news, I didn't log my GPS track.
