Today was an interesting day. I was scheduled for the first go. We started jet and taxied. Right before run up, we heard radio saying that it's going to be a weather cancel. So we taxied back. Hay, at least I practiced start up and taxing.
Later in the evening, we did something that may look silly to outsiders. We drew up our pattern on the ground and practiced our radio procedures. So we walked in tiny little steps our pattern and made calls as instructor cleared / denied our requests. Also, it's a good practice to learn about conflicts and what to look out for.
It's a good practice doing radio calls in classroom since any wrong radio calls will cost students money starting next week. So each time we make a wrong radio call or wrong phraseology, it will cost 25 cents. After a while, cost will rise and rise. All of the money will go to our 'solo' party which usually is after 8! rides.
