An excellent morning's flying was had today. I'd booked a lesson for 9am but things were delayed as Tony was stuck on the M25 so we didn't take off until 10:20. However this week I did a much better attempt at remembering how to fly. Farnborough's restrictions were gone so the circuit was a little less cramped and rushed than previous weeks, the weather was calm - a 4kt breeze from the North and I was in a much better frame of mind. I'd finished everything for my medical; had been practising the pre-landing checks all week and had been swatting for the Aviation Law exam.
I did one rough circuit and then began to shake off the previous few crappy weeks flying. I flew much more on the numbers as Tony asked - descent speed 70kts and runway 25 markings. I remembered all of the relevant actions at the right time and even managed to fit in an attempt at pre-landing checks every circuit. The radio work was almost all mine and I felt much more in control. Tony had me aiming before the numbers this week. He's even keener for me to do the exam and I think a few more sessions like that and things will be awesome. Tony even said he was falling asleep at some points today.
