Had a great lesson today!! We did Ground reference maneuvers and touch and goes.
We took off of runway 17 with a north departure. We flew a little ways and found a road running east to west and started doing S-turns across the road. then started doing turns around a point. From there My CFI told me to navigate my way back to the airport, which I did with ease.
We then started doing the touch and goes. We came in fast trying to beat other traffic. after touching down we took off and at 300ft my CFI did something that totally surprised me. With a quick movement he cut the power and said "ok.... your engine died. what do you do now?"
I'm still in shock that he did that and said "try and go around." despite knowing I had to find a Emergency landing field. I just blurted out what came to mind I guess. On the second touch and go, we landed and got to about 300ft and he again cut the power and said "ok.... your engine died. what do you do now?" I got it right and said "make a landing in the field and pitch for 60 knots."
We did two more touch and goes then came in for a full stop.
My CFI said I'm doing very good I just need to work on leveling off above the runway on landing.
Next lesson is June 24th.
