Flights 7, 8, and 9
At this stage in the game I’m learning to fly the pattern and pratice take-offs and landings. It’s pretty hard going, as the lessons come fast and the margin for error is very low. It also requires a lot of talking to the tower, watching for other planes, and generally going through a mental checklist very, very quickly.
The instructor says I’m doing well at the landing approach, and OK and landings, but I can’t help thinking that the issues I’m still having with take-offs and operating in the pattern are large ones. Hopefully things will improve with time, since I’m now out at the field twice a week to keep the training flowing.
