It was another hot sunny day last Friday. We were back on runway 025L - my favoured side, although after last week's lesson it would have been nice to practise maintaining height in the right hand turn. Today's aircraft was Alpha November - I just have to remember we land at 70 kts and since knots are the only thing on Alpha November's air speed indicator - don't land at 80 kts! There was notable effect from thermals today - quite lumpy sometimes and the odd random lift.
I had a great lesson, circuits were neat and controlled and approaches were good and I actually managed to focus on the flare and landing. Out of nine landings Barrie said I did three landings he was pleased with. You know you're doing okay when the flying instructor hardly says a word throughout the circuit.
