Fred (one of my flight instructors) told me to apply car wind shield de-icer to the wings before takeoff. I will try it next time.
Pt. Mugu Approach Radar was out of service. As the result, we had interesting experiences.
Outbound:
We got an amendment clearance
when we got close to OXR. I missed several items, for the first
time, but got everything in the second time. That part was no
problem. I made a big mistake after reading back the clearance;
I did not change the VOR frequency from Ventura. As the result,
the ATC asked me "Are you flying direct to Fillmore?", which
was pretty bad. I must be more careful next time.
Inbound:
We had to hold at Camarillo VOR as published right after
departure. Camarillo ATIS said "Expect delay." and I thought it
meant departure delay, but I was wrong. What ATIS meant was to
expect hold right after departure. The holding fix was
Camarillo VOR and the direction is left turn. I actually could
not figure out what to do after departure. I tried to fly back
to the airport (VOR is located at the airport), which was
fortunately not a bad idea. The right procedure was to take a
parallel entry. I was lucky that Pt. Mugu App. did not see the
trace of my holding (their radar is out ;-).
I asked VFR on top from San Marcus VOR to Paso Robles VOR to avoid IMC and make a short cut (skip Morro Bay VOR). It worked very well.
