 |
|
A little story about a all most Ground Loop..a few months back...in the
late fall..I was out playing on a 1000ft strip along side of our
runway..and we had a strong Xwind out of the south.WELL guys,it was my
fault.but I did not have my wing down in to the wind..Yes I know,how
stupid of me..I was at app take off speed,,and then things went real
wrong...the right wing lifted off the ground.and left wing touched the
ground..I thought that KF N554KF was history..But I remember what my
Inst.all ways told me..FLY the plane.no one else is in there with
you..do not get scared.you do not have time for that..I felt the plane
going over...and...I gave right stick,all the way over.and held in all
right rudder+the brake..and pulled the plane right back,going straight
down the strip..and then when I was taxing up to my hanger for anther
day..Guess what..my Inst..had this half _ _smile on his face..Ans he
asked me if I had learned any thing from this lesson??and I told him
YES.to keep that wing down in to the wind..And then he said did I get
scared??and I told him.as he all ways told me..No that I did not have
time to get scared..And then he turned and started to walk back..and he
turned on more time to me and Said,,HEY Steve,that was a great save..you
did save KF 554 today..You learned some thing to day..good job..and I
did not even hurt my little N554KF..and I felt great after he said
that..what a great Inst. Steve Shinabery N554KF KF2 Great Lakes
