Hello everyone, following on from my Introductory flight (My Introductory Flight @EIWF 16/08/2020) it was now time to officially begin my PPL. Today once again I took EI-GRX a C172 out on a flight with my instructor. The routing took us off the northerly runway in Waterford before we soon turned out right after departure towards Hook Head, where I was given the controls. We then flew over Duncannon Beach in Wexford before turning back towards the City and Tramore before being instructed to make an expeditious approach back on 03. The weather conditions en route were quite blustery with about 25kts of wind the whole way in a southerly direction. Flight time was about 55 minutes
Today’s lesson focused mainly on getting familiar with the aircraft and mainly level flight keeping the aircraft at a certain altitude maintaining a constant VS. I will post a few of the pictures below that I captured during the flight when I had the chance. Hope you enjoy!

In my opinion the best picture I captured today of the beautiful Garmin displays present on GRX Doing a loop around the ground of our local Premier Division club Waterford FC 🔵⚪ After landing waiting on outbound company traffic (EI-GWY) to clear the ramp area where we would soon be parking Somewhere over the City just before I took back control
I really apologise for the lack of pictures today and the rushed kinda post but thats all the best ones I could get from this as I was mostly flying the aircraft. I would appreciate also if you could go over to this topic (Black Cessna 172 Livery (EI-GRX)) and vote for the aircraft I flew today to be added into the sim.
That’s all for today! ✈
