Started working on one of my 2008 resolutions today by doing my first multi training in a Cougar. What a hoot!!! Wx was great, the darn thing just jumped off the runway....might have had something to do with pilot input...:D. We didn't start any single engine stuff, just flying the plane, getting the sight picture (odd not seeing the nose of the airplane), steep turns, slow flight, stalls, etc. It was just a fun airplane to fly!

And ya know what made it more fun? The Cougar is supposed to based out of JYO, but it was down at HEF. I swear, I don't know how to drive to HEF :dunno:.....:D..... So, I flew the Trinnie to HEF, and invited my CFI to go along, if he wanted to. Funny thing, he said Yes!!

You know what else I learned today? It's so much easier flying the Trinnie when my CFI is just a pax, than when he's on the job. :rofl:

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed myself today, so I just might have to continue with the multi. Have to do a BFR this year, so might as well get another rating, doncha think? :yes:

Tony,
You know what's so odd....this first lesson was on the husband. That's not what's odd, but he's become really antsy about keeping me in a plane with engines. I guess the more the merrier...or something like that. Anything to keep me out of a glider. Haven't figured out where that's coming from, yet, but there will be a glider rating sometime in my future! :yes:

Don't know what I might be fling for the flybq. Trinnie will be in for annual, and the cougar goes in for a paint job in 2 weeks. So timing of it back home and me getting a rating (and probably hours) might not work. But I'll find something! :yes:

Kaye,

Once you finish your multi, your next rating can be the glider rating. Zero engines and Two engines averages out to one engine, right? :D
 
The Cougar is about the easiest-flying light twin out there. It's a real *****-cat with one engine out, so don't get too complacent about that when you move to a 310 or a Baron. Also, it flies just like an Aztec, so if you transition that way, it will be easy.

Kaye, that's so cool! :yes:
 
LOL, I had to check to see what the heck a Cougar is, anyway...d'oh! I knew that... looks like a sweet ship.
I heartily recommend doing something different for your BFR- it makes it fun, not more work. ;)
