It's great to watch the progression from an initially nervous student to landing the plane by himself. I flew up the north coast today to Isithebe, a little runway inland of the Tugela River mouth, about a 30 min flight from Durban. Here, apart from cows, people and cars on the runway, one is able to practice landings (free) and get the approach right without the buzz of other planes in the circuit and no Air Traffic Controller... so we had a great time and by the time we returned to Virginia my student was able to land the plane by himself. We also managed a touch-n-go at King Shaka International on the way home which is always exciting. Great going Gordon. you'll soon be doing this without me in the plane.
