Flying for Fun - When you say 'Level the Wings', I hope you mean with rudder.... .. .Nice summary of your skills test - similar to mine, though I returned to base between the two halves.. .. .I was tought the wing-down method in the US for x-wind landings. My instructor requested a diffent runway pretty much every flight (much to my chagrin) and made me fly the whole of the approach each time cross-controlled, ie left rudder, right aeleron to keep the aircraft pointing straight and on the centre line all the way down.. .. .In the UK, I was given to understand that slipping is not recommended with flap deployed, and not near the ground as a stall is slightly more likely if you screw up your airspeed. Now I fly a compromise - crab down to the threshold, then straighten the nose with rudder with a few feet to go and use aeleron to correct drift to give a nice (sometimes?) three point landing.. .. .G_String - Just relax and fly it like you know how. Your instructor won't put you forward for a skills test unless he knows you can pass. And hey, if you fail it, just do it again. You still log the hours, so it's no big deal. Relax though, and you'll be fine. Would recommend you have a scan through your Book 1 the night before to check up on PFLs etc.. .. .I anything, taking up your first passenger is more daunting. Instructors don't scream as you come over the threshold..... .. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> . .. .WGW
