Lessons

AM Christine called me to come be her "safety pilot." Many thanks. Beautiful day for flying, and we turned stall practice into something really simple.


PM.Eddie & the Arrow. Electric fuel pump out. Landings.

If you change the friction lock, remember it affects throttle, mix AND
prop, so guard all three with your hand on takeoff.

In the Arrow, powering back really means pitch up, or you'll lose altitude.

T&Go. Aim for vx to get up in the pattern in time to think ahead.

Shortfield

Softfield, don't forget the touch of power at the touchdown to help
keep the nose up.

Power off 180, turn downwind in close, get gear down, airspeed 100,
choose (name) landing spot, get setup in time to power back and turn
immediately past the spot (dont wait for the numbers).
