In the holidays I went out to Bridge Pa Aerodrome for gliding it made me feel happy because I could just see plane which makes me happy. It was a very windy day. When I got the gliders ready with the other people out there they said to me, “do you want to go up today?”. When they said that I was really happy but I said no because it was to windy for me but then later on in the day another person asked me so I said yes. We got the glider ready for take-off and checked everything was ok and it was. Once we got into the glider we had to put on our parachutes but nothing ever happens really. When we strapped ourselves in I was really scared but it was alright. Then we had to do our cockpit checks and there is a lot to learn but it will be easy once I get the hang of it.
We turned everything on except for the motor because gliders don't have any engines, the engine is the wind and the ability of the pilot. Once we got ready we buzzed the tow plane which is a Cessna 152 which has two seats and is a single engine aircraft. He said “roger that take-off, lets go”. We got around 40-65 knots ( 80-130 km) that is the speed we took off at. Once we got in the air it was really bumpy. That is not nice it feels so yuk but I have to get over that if I want to be a pilot. We got to around 2700 ft which is pretty high we let go of the tow plane and I said to the pilot, “lets go land it is too bumpy for me”. So we come into land and there was lots of crosswind and that made us go sideways but we still landed. We got a max 3G forces in the air which means negative G forces which means you go down and that feels like you are going to come out of your seat, but you don't, it was really fun but next time I want to go up on a smooth day.
Why I like this piece of writing / I like it because it has flying in it and its telling the reader what I like and it is describing what I do at the aerodrome.
What to improve / Next time I need to have a little bit more information.
