Well Mazzy, looks like you had a varying sort of day. Personally, I had a "mare" of a day!! Took my mock Air Law this am, and did the most stupid of schoolboy errors - I failed to answer one of the questions. I'd left it 'cos I wasn't sure of the answer, and forgot to go back for it!! How bl@@@y stupid. Still "passed" with 82.5%, which I was happy with.
Then into the circuits. Pretty busy at E.Mids today, with a Royal flight taking priority over everything it seemed (Prince Andrew spending tax payers money again??!!). First two circuits were to the left, with a couple of orbits to wait for a 737, then two to the right (again with a couple of turns to wait for another 737). I was pretty well OK with the climb, downwind, orbits, setting up for finals, approach speed etc, but yet again made a pretty poor job of the landing(s). I'm trying to suss out in my mind why I'm still flaring too soon. I seem to be OK until I cut the revs at about 100', when the aircraft of course descends more rapidly. Panic then sets in and I pull back too hard, and it balloons and so on. I was pretty depressed on the way back home, feeling I'd made no progress at all since my last efforts, though "he who must be obeyed" in the right hand seat, told me not to be frustrated, and that I'll suddenly get the hang of it - we're going to discuss it tomorrow. I suppose I've only carried out six actual landings, so it's maybe early days.
I'm back again tomorrow, when I'm determined to do a better job.
Best of luck all.....
