Lesson 97 – Better Landings

Sandy and I went out in the pattern yesterday to concentrate on landings. I did much better than last time. I was trying to concentrate on my crosswind correction and so, let the landings get a little flat; not horribly so though. Sandy wasn’t worried abut the flair and she was happy about the improved crosswind technique. My soft field landings could be softer and, I will work on that. On the other hand, I was able to hit my landing spot exactly on the short field landings and my soft and short field takeoffs were fine.

I am going to fly with a different CFI on Thursday to get a second viewpoint to help me fine tune my flair. The checkride is just around the corner now.
