Sweet dude! Congrats! Go turn the tube on and sit down to some nice college football this afternoon: Miami of Ohio is playing Michigan right now (real good game so far).

Cheers

Myself and a student, in the 172 today. Perfect traffic pattern and turn to final. We were doing a power off approach, and he was on the numbers today. He flies well, and considering that he took about 5 months off of flying after he solo'd, he's almost there. He's just good enough for me to be too comfortable.

So, about 15 feet off the ground, he banks to the left a little too much for a wing correction, and adds a whole lot off right rudder to stay aligned with the runway. Well, now we're losing centerline, and he starts these crazy banks left and right....still 15 feet in the air (so much for that extra bit of airspeed.

So, I'm on the controls by now, and I mention that we need a little power and I'm getting us on the ground.

Nice landing, but now the throttle is firewalled!!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

We made it a full stop to talk about it while we taxied back to discuss it.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Really, he's a great stick! But never let your guard down!!!

No you'll know what it's like to sit on a couch for 10 hours straight and watch everyone else go fly while you stare out the door ... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/insane.gif[/img]

Seriously though ... three things. 1) GOOD job!! 2) Pick a spot. 3) Get a book! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks all!! I seriously don't know if I'd have kept at it with the passion I did without two things:

1. The support of my wife; and
2. You guys!

[/mush]

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I had zero hours and knew nothing when I logged on just under three years ago and now I have just over 280.... and know enough to know that I still don't know squat. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks again!

Gouge will appear in the "Checkride" forum some time this week.

For today (Sunday), just riding out what's left of Hurricane Frances.
