Double Session Today
Today, finally mechancal vagueries and the weather failed to conspire against us, and we got to go on our second flight. We concentrated on pitch control, accelerating and deceletating the aircraft while keeping altitude constant, climbing and descending while keeping airspeed constant and some more "dutch" roll exercises.
We took a lunch break in San Carlos, my home airport. I was able to proudly show off N626FT. We then took off on a Bay Meadows departure towards the coast and did some slow flight exercises. We had an interesting event after cleaning up. In spite of carburator heat being on during all of the slow flight phase, after a short moment of full power to regain altitude and accelerate to cruise, we must have gotten some ice, since the throttle wouldn't retard and the engine ran rough for a moment when I pulled carburator heat on again. We decided to return to Oakland at that point.
