Last three lessons have been short takepoff and landing and then Forced Landings.
Short take offs and landings are fun, at least with a 3000 foot strip to practice them on!
Forced landings first lesson was easy as we had a grass strip to "pretend" to land on. Start at 3500 feet, select high key and low key, fly downwind, base and break off final at 500 feet.
Second lesson a little harder, you are flying along and instructor pulls carb heat on and throttle back to simulate a failure, and you have to get through the whole procedure while flying the approach.

Next lesson their will be no warnings given nor height specified.
