		<description><![CDATA[I went up in VH-WIQ for 45 minutes of circuits on the 23rd, after work, and I felt much more comfortable than the last time.  Five circuits in all, including a go-around, and a simulated engine failure after take-off.  So, four take-off/landings in total, and all much smoother than last time.
In another week or so, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yay!  Went up yesterday for an hour of circuits in VH-WIX.  Weather a bit cloudy (SCT at 2000, Overcast at 3500), a bit gusty (330/11 to start with, changing to 340/20, gusts to 35 for the last few).  Three left hand circuits from runway 32L, then three right hand circuits, including one [...]]]></description>

This site is about aviation, for pilots, for those interested in flying, and for me!
Over time it will grow to provide a comprehensive resource for accessing all types of information related to the Australian aviation scene, in particular for those involved in general aviation activities.

Why Squawk3000?
3000 is the standard transponder (squawk) code for civilian flights [...]]]></description>

Meant to mention that this flying thing has been consuming my thoughts for the past couple of months - to the point that I am going to try to do my best to go Commercial as soon as I can.  Why?  Because I think I have finally realised that the one thing [...]]]></description>

Since my last post, I have been up again - this time for approx 45 minutes to the training area at Launceston to continue the refamiliarisation process (C172P VH-WIX).  That was on the 28th April - so a bit over a month [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought the repairs to my car would probably delay my flying exploits&#8230;  I was right.  Just under $3k worth of repairs, which is equivalent to roughly 15 to 20 hours of flying time.  Only a short setback though, as I probably won&#8217;t be doing much more than 2 or 3 hours [...]]]></description>

Obviously, it would also be easier to fly using a joystick, but I&#8217;ll wait until I get a new computer before I worry about that. [...]]]></description>

// &#8211;&#62;

I&#8217;ve started this blog to reflect on my decision to renew my private pilot&#8217;s licence, which lapsed around 18 years ago.  I am (was) endorsed on both Piper PA-28 and PA-32-CS aircraft, but my renewal will most likely be in Cessna 172&#8217;s or 182&#8217;s.  Either way, I will be happy to start [...]]]></description>
