School has moved into whiplash pace these past couple weeks. Our new instrument instructor is now on board so I've been flying quite a bit. Things are both exhilarating and overwhelming. I've been taking my GPS receiver along with me and I've saved the tracks of a few of the more interesting flights. The track in red is a flight from OGD to BTF (Bountiful/Skypark) and back. It covered 88.6 nautical miles (102 statute miles) took about 2 hours with a max ground speed of 110 knots (127 mph.)
The track in blue is from my first flight with my new instructor and third flight overall. I don't have the data on that flight anymore, but it was less exciting anyway. Practicing turns, assents & descents and one touch and go in Brigham City on that flight. Compare that to nine approaches at Skypark a week later plus flying near Class B airspace and passing though Hill AFB airspace. A lot of excitement that made for quite a bit to digest in one flight.
