My Flying

Happy factor = 9/10. As there was a fresh westerly wind blowing we winch launched from runway 26L with instructor F(2).

The first launch was a little rusty, but other than that all the flights went very well. During the day I practiced shallow and medium stalls, adverse effects of controls (i.e. full rudder without aerlons and full aerlons without rudder) and two steep turns.

The landings progressively got better and I completed two circuits and landings with almost no control or verbal inputs from the instructor. I still need work on my flaring and judging the rate of decent for finals, but other than that all went very well. So that was six flights totalling 38 minutes for a well spent 278,40ZAR.
