Hitting the plateau
Just a quick reply
Heading out the door shortly for another lesson
Runway switch this time (08 rather than 26)
Maybe 8 will be my lucky number
I've got a couple of strategies planned
One - sod it , I used to enjoy this flying lark
, so I'm going to go out and have some fun, inevitably there will be a landing but maybe if I'm having fun I'll relax a little and land it
Two - work on getting the approach right every time , if I concentrate on that then maybe the landings will be easier
Three - if I'm still frustrated after today's lesson then I'm going to ask my instructor to move onto something else , maybe revisit stalls , spirals , spin recovery etc
Or maybe even some Nav and cross country
Just to enjoy it again !
A couple of remarks about visual clues , a couple of you mentioned cushions
I'm very short , I already use two cushions behind me ( otherwise I can't get full rudder deflection) and one underneath me !
Also I really don't instrument watch, it's something I did at the start of my training so worked hard to correct
Once I've turned base I judge my altitude purely by visual clues for example
The winds look very light today so fingers crossed and I'll report back!
