This time it was a great chance of experiencing of being not perfect. 😄

On this navigation round we introduced zone-transit radio calls. Radio comms is so far my scariest topic in the whole flying business as my nightmare scenario is missing some critical piece of info being passed via overly noisy channels of those 20th-century radio technologies. Tendency of participants to speak faster (than casual pace) and my unfamiliarity with details of RT procedures just added up to my woes.

Also, this time I'm flying the plane with analogous direction indicator, which is so much more difficult to control comparing to digital avionics. So, my flightpath is wobbly, attention uncertain, and radio zone transit call completely messed up.

00:00 - Lesson begins
02:35 - Engine start
14:42 - Departure
20:30 - Switching radio frequency
27:50 - Overhearing ATC discussing someone's asymmetric approach (engine failure)
49:55 - Radio call for overhead zone transit, completely messed up. 😱
1:06:08 - Rejoining home airfield
1:07:46 - Camera battery finally died
