I was not taught them, nor tested on them second time around. First time round I did them in a Tiger Moth and hated approaching at 45 kts with power and the nose in the air - hard to check descent rate and when to chop the power, no flare needed. I never had the confidence to do that solo after my GFT.

I did my GFT on a frosty morning and, when I taxied back to take off again, I could see where the tail skid had touched down - impressively close to the downwind hedge!!!
