Mazzy - Chequered...
Did you managed to get any flying time over the weekend? The skies over Yorkshire / Lincolnshire were fine.
I spent 1hr 20m going through some of my 'fears'. Those parts of the skills test that you don't practice everyday: flapless and glide approaches (went well), steep level turns (went well) and PFL (went very well).
Last time I did a PFL was many months ago and I couldn't get to grips with the glide attitude, and the calls and checks, and the aiming for a field, and the altitude and position etc. Yesterday it all came together really well. Engine off, 70kts glide, keep the field in sight, glide and descend gently, simulated calls and checks made, down to 500ft then power away. I was really pleased to get this out of the way and it gave me great confidence in knowing how to get the aircraft into a glide attitude and to control it.
Steep level turns were also something I hadn't done for a while and remember them being all over the place with attitude and altitude not quite in synch! This time they were much much better which I can only put down to being much more experienced and familiar with the controls and actions.
A couple more hours of solo time to build then I reckon I'll be ready to apply for the test. Fingers crossed.
