Doing circuits and landings...

Mr.Meerkat

Today, I was able to fly in both the morning and afternoon. 

 

Our morning flight was delayed by an hour due to fog/mist however it did clear and thus we were able to fly. We did 7 circuits however they were all low passes. Circuits were suprsingly less demanding that I had expected. 

 

In the afternoon flight, I did my first landing! We did 3 touch n go before we exited the circuit to go over what to do in an engine failure. We then came back to do a shortfield landing. 

My first (ever) touch n go was slightly rough but it got better on the two touch n go afterward. For the shortfield landing, I was coming in a little too low, increased the throttle too much and lets just say that it was an incredibly hard landing however as saying goes, "if its a landing that you can walk away, its a good landing"... :D 

 

With today completed, this means that I can now do everything from startup to shutdown, as long as we ignore navigation and emergencies.
