Another week in the bag. Unfortunately plagued with some unfortunate weather this week, which means I will be returning to London with just shy of 30 hours (29.6)
I'm coming back for a few days next week, which I'm hoping will bring me up to 33 hours, by which time I'll be concentrating on solo consolidation, bringing me up to 43 hours, leaving a few hours spare for mock test and revision... and then ready for test!
The one area I'm concentrating on is my landings. They are all within limits, but they could be a lot smoother. My approaches are stable, I'm just trying to find that round-out and flare balance. Today was another step forward there.
I have recorded all my lessons with two GoPro's, so I'll put a lesson or two up soon.

All instructors teach you to land power off. And it's a good practice for smaller planes and shorter fields. But try to land with just a smidge of power next time (if you have the rwy). I almost guarantee you'll make a greaser.
