    11 years Epileptic Free - FAA Medical Exam

    CFI Training - Sideloading

    Hey everyone! Today I nailed all my landings normal, short, soft, and power off 180 from the right. I realized I was looking across to the spinner of the cowling instead of straight ahead. As soon as I did that my landings went back to normal!

    CFI Training - Sideloading

    trust me… I’m puzzled as well. How can a mere 3 feet affect my landings so much that I’m sideloading it. Manuevers really no problem but something about the sight picture is messing me up. I do agree I think with a few more hours I’ll get used to it.

    CFI Training - Sideloading

    First I’d demonstrate it properly so they could attain what was right. Then I’d have them control the rudder while I controlled the aileron in a low approach. I’d talk them through it as we conducted the approach, more right rudder, less right rudder. Then I’d have them begin to try to put it together.

    Update: Met with my Senior AME gave authorization letter and all. He said he has to send it to OKC because it only allows renewal of a Third Class not an upgrade to First Class. Just got my Commerical Pilot certificate and have my CFI and I-I checkride first weekend in March. Luckily a Third...

    11 years Epileptic Free - FAA Medical Exam

    Eventually want to fly for hire so I'll need a Class 2 anyway but for the time being Basic Med does everything I need, just won't let it lapse because I don't want to restart the entire process again.
