Day 21 Getting nowhere

August 21st.


Between the Sportstar being out of commission for a couple of weeks and then work getting in the road again, I haven't done a lot of flying in the last couple of months.


I feel like I'm getting nowhere at the moment. But at least I'm getting some time in, so I'm not slipping further back than I have already slipped back.


We did some more circuits coupled with a short nav again, and had a bit of excitement when we landed back at Lynfield and found we didn't have any right brake. As Lynfield is a very short strip we powered on and went around again and made another powered approach but this time brought it in just a smidge slower and dropped it over the fence and kept the nose well in the air as long as possible, to give it as much drag as possible to slow it down. We didn't need the run-off area, but we used all of the strip.
