PFLS and Stalls (again) GFT stylie
Well this one was another PFL and stall session. This time Doug did it GFT style: i.e. Show me a clean stall and recover when i say so, show me a full flap stall and recover at the stall warner, and show me a turn stall etc.
Oh and Doug got me to go through the HASELL and HELL checks between.
Most went well, apart from i put the nose down, then removed flap before power in the flap format - misread my own post on here -(but ive fixed it now)
Very cold day, wind from 330/13 knots hence the cold.
I drew my wind spider as instructed which was correct :)
Then we did PFLS, he kept doing these all through, mostly got them right, not a great deal to report on this lesson to be honest.
We had to orbit on right base for rway 27. We cam in quick from the North a little too quick.
Doug asked me to point the right wing at a ground feature on orbit around it, making my turns tighter when against the wind to keep my orbits as circular as possible.
Landing was bumpy on the way in, but put it down ok.
I suppose the bit of good news is that Doug wants me to do my solo North run pretty much in the next couple of lessons. I was going to booka few lessons in for the week before xmas as i finish my contract then, but doug is off on hols, but he got me to book the plane anyway as he reckons most of my time now will be solo stuff - tee hee :)
