Warrior III VH-TXU
Weather QNH 1019, Wind NE 7kt, Temp 16C
Runway 35R
Circuits once again but today I'm flying with Warren as Jason wasn't available. It was looking like a nice day so was hoping I'd manage to stick a few good landings today.
I also decided to try out MyTrack, which is an Android app that allowed you to capture my GPS track, then store it and share it on Google maps. (see below)
View Lesson 16 in a larger map (Let me know if you can't see the map and track.)
As you'll see I managed 9 circuits including a go around and a couple of flapless landings. My landings are getting better but Warren wants me to use my feet a lot more - especially when I get onto final. Once I did I released how much more control I have. While the landings weren't perfect they are starting to get better.
After the flight while looking at the track log I noticed a couple of things 1) I'm not flying completely parallel to the runway on downwind, just tightening up a little, 2) My crosswind and base legs aren't square (Either because I following the roads or the slight NE) but all in all I'm happy with my pattern.
I'm getting closer to being able to go solo, so I need to sort out my solo theory test and hopefully CASA will sort out my Student licence soon.
Circuits, Go-Arounds, Flapless
