Post #5 - Alternate: Logan

I must have spoken too soon about the good weather. It looked great this morning! Blue sunny sky with a few clouds...but the TAF said there were clouds rolling in with some snow. Justin and I sent texts to each other laughing that the TAF was inaccurate today. But after we got up in the air we saw that the clouds were starting to form south of town over the mountains. We decided not to go to Ogden today and practice a few approaches in Logan. First approach was GPS 35 for Logan. Had a strong headwind aloft while trying to gain altitude to get up to the holding pattern. After holding we began the approach. Had a little bit of turbulence today, and a good jolt that shook the plane suddenly. It felt like I would have hit my head on the top of the plane if I didn't have a seat belt on. After the approach I initiated a missed and then went up again for the ILS 17. I have 3 more flights before my stage 2 check. Will keep you posted!
