Another beautiful day. My instructor told me that we best not stop our pattern work while we're on a roll. That sounded great to me. I really enjoy doing it. There were less people doing touch and goes today but twice while we were turning downwind, someone was approaching downwind on the 45.

We did about 6 circuits today. My approach and landings today were sloppier than yesterday. My instructor had to assist me a few times with the landings including when I started a flare too high and was corrected. I even had some approaches that were a bit too high. We just increased our descent rate by reducing power and added power when we got to the appropriate glide path.

Pattern work is fun and I hope to do more of it so I can get enough experience to do it correctly without assistance.

  • June 25, 2003 - Wednesday from 5pm to 7pm
  • June 26, 2003 - Thursday from 5pm to 7pm
