pilot's logbook

5/13 C-152 N69011 LOU LOU Pilotage, T/O, XW Landings, ER Procedures 1.6 hr

MIke said why didn't we take a break, just go looking around and have some fun.

We took off north over Indiana, looking at landmarks. Headed up I-64 and Hwy150, then went looking for the farm. It took a while to find it. I don't know the name of the road we take to get there. We went over Mike's house on Borden Rd. Then we went to Borden Reservoir, didn't see the farm, turned around and went back to the lake and found it. Kevin's conservation borders are beautiful. Smooth & classy.

Looking for places to make an emergency landing, practice coming in to final there.

Climbing from a low altitude, you can't see what's in front of you, look to the left, then bank somewhat left,


Lost my altitude at least three times just toodling around. No reason for that.
Deems Lake. "Let's do a 360º turn over the lake, here." I flew around the lake, but didn't even think to make it 360º.

Left-brain / right-brain --> procedural/philosophic -->Small-motor skills / lg-motor skills --> calibrate out-the-window motor control and sensation with bank indicator and pitch indicator motor control and sensation. -->Fly maneuvers concentrating on horizon and ground input, airspeed and altimeter.
