ARRGGHH!!!
Went up to do a few dual circuits yesterday as part of a check-out at a new flying school on a somewhat closer-to-home airport... had a shocker... just couldn't land an aeroplane. Dunno why, was all over the shop - flaring too late, flying finals too fast, then too slow, then... no idea what was going on. I was using a runway I haven't used before that is somewhat narrower than what I've been used to -not looking for excuses here (I concede the problem was all me - I just had 'one of those days'!!) but I have a feeing the lack of width in the runway was mucking around with my mental image/perspective of what it should look like... so I thought I was higher than I was. Bugger...
Went back today and came out of it feeling a bit better, had a few 'passable' landings (one was even 'good'!!
) but a few shockers as well, so I've scheduled one more session for next week to sort everything out (the key word is 'consistency' here!) before they let me loose...
Guess I just had a BAD day yesterday!!
