Re heart surgery, sorry to hear, but hang in there cause that’s plumbing and fixable. Sometimes dementia is temporary from surgery trauma.
(After that much time at the yoke, it seemed almost anticlimactic.) Written passed last week, so now on to some cross-countries. Got to be more interesting than grinding around and around the pattern.
The last two landings - almost greasers, both of them! I think the first part of the "click" finally happened. I was really struggling with roundout timing, but it worked out today! Instead of rounding out 15 seconds early, it was less than a second for the vast majority of landings I did. I'll probably have to work back to it again next week, but I am so stinking thrilled that it is all starting to come together!
Y'all - I finally landed the Archer all by myself today!
Got some more landing practice in today. My instructor made me land on the grass runway because of how well I was doing. Ever since I started using one cushion on the seat and one behind me, it's been going swimmingly. Landing is so much easier when you can see the runway... When your instructor starts talking about taking a nap, that's a good sign, right?
We went over my presolo test today, and I got to sign a paper saying if I messed up the airplane by my own fault, I'd better be prepared to pay up. I think I might finally get to solo soon!
