Back under the hood

Went flying with Brad on Friday. It was my first time flying since my solo cross country to Kingston. I was a bit rusty. I got some more instrument time in. I’ve still got to focus more on the artificial horizon, I find I’m pretty much always drifting around.

Towards the end of the booking, Brad pulled my engine on me and made me do a forced landing. It didn’t go so well! I picked a perfect field for a landing, but it was too far away and I wasn’t really realizing it until we were quite low. Then I had to quickly pick a field that was close to us and finish the procedures. As I said, it didn’t go so well, but reminded me that I needed to brush up on those procedures.

After that we practiced a precautionary landing and it turns out I need to brush up on that too.

Next booking is actually today, Tuesday, at 3:30. It’s a double so I’m not too sure what we’re going to be doing.
