Back again! Just got done flying this morning. This time we worked in the pattern again. We reviewed how to do a normal approach, touch 'n' go's and slips. First Landing was really Fast and I ballooned half way down the runway. Second time around, it was still fast, but better than the first time. Third time around it was a perfect approach except that the flare was not very high and I kind of did a 3-Point landing. Oops.
Next we did go-arounds. Pretty basic, Not much to it. We did one with a normal approach and one while doing a forward slip. Slips are pretty fun. We kept it at pattern altitude until we turned final and then we jammed that left rudder and put in some right aileron. Presto, a very nice landing! Second slip was pretty good, made a nice approach and then we did a go-around. Today was a fun lesson, landings are the best part of flying!
Next Saturday I'm heading back up there and we are going to head over to do some Air Traffic Control work! That's gonna be fun!
As of 8/13/08 I have a total of 9.9 hours logged and a total of 26 landings.
See ya next time-
Taylor
