Yet Another Local Flight. Nothing too exciting this time. I took another co-worker along for this flight over Elora, my house, and northern Waterloo. We have quite a few co-op students where I work and many of them really enjoy the opportunity to go flying. Maybe some of them will catch the bug and learn to fly some day.
One thing this flight reminded me of is to brief the passenger before landing. We had to turn a rather close base, so our final approach was rather steep. Just before starting the flare, I noticed my passenger tensing up and trying to move towards the back of the plane as the ground rushed towards us. I remember from my first flights that even a normal approach seems quite steep at first. A short briefing to that effect might have obviated a tense moment for my passenger.
