I had a flight planned today, but after arriving at the flight school, the airplane was down for maintenance. This is a sore point with me and this particular flight school in that I'm rarely notified when the airplane that I have scheduled isn't available for a flight. It seems like an easy enough problem to solve but they just don't get it. I would also think that as an instructor, one would check that the equipment for your students is actually available and then inform your students or make equipment changes as appropriate. Enough ranting for now.
Plan-B was to give a ground brief, so I had 8's on pylons already prepared and taught my instructor all about the manuever. This one went well and I now have 19 of 24 briefs done. Earlier in the week I gave briefs on Chandelles, Lazy Eights, and weather information. All of the flight maneuver ground briefs are complete, so we're shifting to doing more flying than ground instruction.
