Amazing Experience - The weather caused a few problems but patience paid off for a clear day and good weather conditions. Everything was well explained to me about the plane following standard procedures. The pilot was very experienced creating a secure and pleasant environment. Once in the air we traveled towards the coast. I was then offered to opportunity to take control with guidance. This was an amazing experience keeping the plane altitude constant using the horizon. Then doing a figure of eight before the pilot took over for the landing.
