It was a lengthy briefing this morning on "Practicing Engine Failure Forced Landings" I guess it would be called stage two of this subject as this briefing was more in depth.
We took off and headed to the training area (I've got to say this morning's take off was straight down the centreline, but there was very little crosswind). We went straight into engine failure practices and out of the seven we did two were good, three were ok and two were aborted. I hope we are going to be doing a heap more of these as I want to get them 100% right. After all as the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
We then joined circuit at Bradfield and landed where Kev got me to let him out and told me to do a couple of circuits and then we will go home. On both my solo landings I held it off longer to give the aircraft more time to lose energy before I sat it down and both landings were good landings, so I'm happy.
Looking forward to my next lesson.
