Post #6 - CAP and Clouded In

It's official! I am now currently a member of the Cache Valley Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. I am in the process of getting my certifications done to become a 2nd lieutenant and a mission observer. I am looking forward to training and being able to help with search and rescue missions and other emergencies. After I accumulate 200 hours of PIC time and complete training, I will be able to become a mission pilot. Until then, I will be a mission observer. I can't wait!

Today I had a flight scheduled to go to Ogden again, however, the weather kept us in our little valley. We flew over the cloud layer for a bit and it was beautiful. We were about 1000 ft above the clouds but it seemed like we were right on top of a layer of pillows and sheets. Wish I had a camera with me today! A few more days before our new one arrives. We practiced some holds and approaches. Justin found a fun approach from Baltimore, MD and we adapted it to work for Logan. It was a fun approach. It consisted of 2 arcs at different distances and a hold. Was good practice because it would throw a heavy workload at you fast. I have about 2 or 3 more flights before my stage 2 check. Then I will be moving on to full IFR flights. It'll be fun!

I hope everyone had a good weekend.
