Another refresher flight

Friday, April 16, 2010 0 Comments

Short Solo Cross Country
Length: 1.3 hours
Total Time: 57.5 hours

 Stalls, S-Turns, Turns about a point, Forward Slips, X-Wind Landings (24016G25)

For me, this flight's main purpose was to get a gap analysis between where I'm currently at compared to where I need to get to for my checkride.

Everything I do from here on out will be related to passing my checkride in May.

We reviewed some basic details after takeoff, including: proper pattern exit altitudes & procedures.

As of this point, most of my maneuvers are looking good except for steep turns. I believe I'm underestimating how much extra elevator is necessary to compensate for the loss of lift.
