Lesson 6


DATE: 21st January 2012
AIRCRAFT: C172P N54288 
ROUTE: CHD -> {Southern Training Area} -> CHD
DURATION: 1.0 hour
LANDINGS: 5
TOTAL TIME: 5.2 hours (+ 45.5 JAA)


Lesson Summary - Departed 22R. Climbed to 4000'. Foggle work including unusual attitude recovery (great fun!!). Then circuit work on 22L. Switched to 22R due to traffic. Switching circuits meant dealing with different drift angles (LH and RH patterns).


Key Learnings - Unusual attitude recovery is great fun. 3/5 good landings. Lost the picture on the last two (tiredness?). Great experience having to switch runways. Switching circuits meant dealing with different drift angles (LH and RH patterns). Transition between downwind and base much better. Had the confidence to tighten up the circuit pattern. Need to remain focused on what control inputs are needed to land on the centre line.
