Funny thing - I do many of our Club check rides - and wondered why the aeroplane would slide towards the runway (or away from same), the height would be sliding down, and the radio call for downwind would be late.
Then I found the pilots' head was buried in the cockpit, looking for the instruments, and checking the mags and master.......
Stay with BUMPFFHH at most - and look out of the window. Or join me at Jack Brown's Seaplane Base, fly the J3 Cub and use CARS: Carb heat, Area (clear of boats), Rudder (water rudder up), S Straps.
Let's keep it simple please!
