Straight & Level, S-turns, Landing practice
Length: 1.1 hours
Total Time: 50.3 hours
It's been weeks since my last flight, so I had to get out and practice the basics. Simple things like using Vy to climb to altitude, change attitude to hold altitude & increase speed, then reduce power & again change attitude to hold altitude had to be practiced to ensure I was seemless. After practice after practice of working on specific things, I realized that the very simple things had to be honed as well.
S-turns actually turned out quite well. On the gps, the path looked like a perfect S-path. Using the technique of picking a point on the ground & flying over it really helped to polish this maneuver. This has to be the best method of performing ground reference maneuvers. It allows you to feel out the controls while controlling the flight path instead of the other way around, which I consider to be more difficult.
Lastly was a number of landings to make sure that I haven't forgotten one of the most important parts of flying..
