Channel: flysport
Date: 2022-08-29

First flight with Pete. It was a really hot day. Went along the Columbia to Astoria, some sightseeing and then a detour for a forest fire TFR. Landed in Astoria and had a lane fault. Spent a bunch of time testing it, calling Bob at the FBO, checking fuses, testing it further, then dealing with the RPM drop. Since we were in a relatively remote area Bob said to climb before heading back across the mountains to Portland. It was (slightly) more stressful but generally a good flight.
