En-Route
So I finally got to do my first actual multi training flight this afternoon. The aircraft have both been broken down lately so I've been waiting around...
Our school leases two PA-30 Twin Commache.
The flight today was a x/c to a nearby airport to shoot an ILS to a circling landing and back. Man was I freaking behind the aircraft the whole time. My first landing was a 1500' float because I was fast and high. Almost fell out of the sky because I'm not use to keeping a lot of power in on landing. The trim had me confused as it's one of those ceiling cranks. Found that the right throttle and prop have to be higher then the left to be at the same setting. Also I'm not use to how flat the approach and flare can be. I have to much Maule time it's affecting me man....
Oh who ever designed the flap, stall, and fuel system on this aircraft was smoking something.
It's different to feel like a new student pilot again.
