Challenged
Pattern Altitude
I made the mistake of over filling my main gear the other day, mainly so I could push the plane in and out of the hangar easier. I flew the wife and dog to Lake Charles this morning and let the mains hit a little too soon; the bounce up was fairly dramatic, so I gave it a little bit of throttle, prepared to settle it back down, but started using up a good bit of runway. I finally made the call to the tower that I was going around and would like closed traffic. I setup and landed without issue the second time.
I guess this was just a reminder to myself that even a seemingly minor change to normal routines can have some unintended consequences.
