So today it was time for exercises 12 and 13, in the circuit! I was quite nervous when we discussed the lesson goals...
6 take-offs and 6 landings later, and I am buzzing. I quickly got the hang of the take-off, climb and climbing turns, but the pre-landing checks kept throwing me. I'm dyslexic so long strings don't always help me to remember the checks, so I may need another way to commit them to memory. I was able to independently perform the climb and turns, and observe the noise abatement requirements, and turning into base and final went really well too. The landing was the hardest part overall, so I have two things standing out to really work on:
- pre-landing checks
- landing
That's not to say I don't need to work on all of it, as I quite obviously do, but for me those are the standouts.
I have two more lessons booked tomorrow!
