The weather turned out more or less as forecast – wind 8 gusting around 12 mph from the north with clear skies in the afternoon and a temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius. As a result I got my flight in to Cavarc where Victor was working on his Rans until about 4.00 pm. I mounted the camcorder again and although I thought I’d started it up just before I took off at Galinat, in fact I can’t have held the start button for long enough. I found that out after I’d landed at Cavarc because it had powered itself off and there was also the dreaded ‘No Scenes’ message, meaning that it hadn’t recorded anything. Here’s the route I took, out and back.<\/p>\n

However, I did manage to take a few photos on the way down despite it being a bit bumpy and I made sure that the camcorder was working when I took off again at Cavarc and although I haven’t yet had a chance to take a look at it, I know I’ve got some recorded material that I hope will make a reasonable video. Trouble is though, it will include the landing back at Galinat, which I’ve already got a clip of, which is why I especially wanted to have the landing at Cavarc. Anyway, too bad, it will have to be at some other time.<\/p>\n

The other reason why I wanted to go to Cavarc was to get my French licence endorsed for passengers. It turns out that the instructor doesn’t sign it, rather he signs a paper that you send to the DGAC with your licence for them to officially endorse. But no matter, Francis the instructor was there and I did get my paper, so I can now offically take pasengers in 56NE. I’m very pleased and hopefully, apart from renewing 56NE’s registration at a cost of 20\u20ac this autumn, that’ll be all the admin and paperwork that I’ll have to do. All I can say is, ‘Vive la France!’ \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
