With regards to the PFL... firstly, you should know that some instructors like to pick the field for you, others however, don't and the choice will be yours, keep a good look out for a suitable one, make sure you are aware of the wind conditions. (When I did my skills test it was 25kt Gusting 35kt
)
Also, remember it is a PFL not a real emergency, don't forget carb heat & warming the engine gently every 500ft you descend, this can earn you a few browny points.
Finally, although it is a PFL not a real emergency, do not let that comfort you, it is very important. Remember you are (imitating)
FLYING FOR YOUR LIFE.
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to get the aeroplane in that field safely, steep turns, full flap, sideslip...
WHATEVER IT TAKES! Quick
sensible thinking and positive control.
Good Luck!
