DAY11
Whew - Friday. I'm wasted after the last couple of weeks. I'm sure this is nothing compared to jet transition - but for me it qualifies as at least something...
Just a short flight this morning for a couple of hours working on maneuvers for the checkride. I'm doing pretty well on everything except I need to get better with the short field landings. I practiced some short field landings today on a pretty secluded airport called Pinal with nobody in the pattern. I actually practiced my short field landings with a tiny tailwind to really force myself into getting the plane slowed down. Then after a while went around and did some normally and they were better. But I'm still a bit hot on them. I'm going to do some mental "chair flying" tonight and then do nothing but short field landings tomorrow for at least an hour before moving into some other stuff. I see no reason to be having this problem - so I need to work through it!
Looking forward to some more solo time tomorrow, and doing nothing but test test test practice over the weekend.
Thanks for reading!
