Back to Jeff as CFI - did sim engine out over hamilton afb (closed/abandoned airport) flew OAK->few maneuvers over SP (San Pablo) bay, slow flight, stalls etc... then sim engine out then on to Petaluma (non-towered) airport for rounds in the pattern and calling out traffic via CTAF the last two of (??? 5?) landings were great - wearing contacts really helped (with sunglasses) demo'd my ANR lightspeed 15XLs on/off and it was a huge difference - keepers!
Back to Oakland for a pretty decent landing, then while taxiing off the active 27L, called ground several times with the full info (who, where, what... etc) and we couldn't hear their reply. eventually, switched back to tower freq and were cleared to taxi to chevron, but the cool thing (I missed) is that they used light gun signals to tell us we were approved for taxi - I'm definitely going to study them seriously now. Also - over SP bay (northern end) used VORs to triangulate our position, and the bearing to OAK. This was cool, although one of the VOR instruments was not working properly. Used OAK and Scaggs...
