Pilot's logbook

3/24 N16084 EKX-2I3-EKX Flight review for rental of C-150 2.3 Jim G.

Collect key, POH and clipboard.
Pre-flight the plane in the hangar, then go in for last weather check.
Hangar door: open partway, about 6 in. from the cable, pull out. Leave tow bar in the hangar beside the door or in the plane.
OK to turn on master switch and set radios and LORAN before engine start.
Ask for radio check before taxi. "Elizabethtown Unicom, Cessna 16084, radio check. Elizabethtown"
"Elizabethtown traffic, Cessna 16084 ready to taxi to 05. Elizabethtown."
Keep a close eye on heading indicator.
"Tower" between E-town and Rough River is a green silo-thingie near a tall red-and-white tower.
At Rough River it's best to use runway 2, since there are mountains at the approach to 20. If you must use 20, stay right of the white cliff.
Use short-field landing.

Coming in to E-town, there are two water towers near the airport.
There are two towers to the left. The leftmost of those is Vine Grove.
Pull up to gas pumps, leave the plane there, then check in and pay.

Want to do T&G's at E-town, then take Frank to Rough River.
Next time, TRANSLATE in writing the times on the TAF.
Want to go with Jim to Vine Grove.
