Line Up and Wait
I have been been training for about 10 months (I only fly once a week for about 2 hours) and have about 46 hours already. We worked on procedures first, not pattern work.
I have been having trouble with landings.
I posted my landing issues on this forum a few weeks ago and got a lot of good tips from various members.
Since then, I have been employing those tips and have been getting better. Today, I went up and nailed all 7 landings. One landing, I didn't flare enough and had a slight bounce. No biggie. My instructor didn't have to move his hands from his lap the whole day. After I landed and taxied back to the school, he handed me my stage check checklist.
Next week we will do a refresher of the procedures (stalls, steep turns, slow flight) and the week after, I'm doing my stage check and may be soloing soon after that. (Actually I have to do a medical test flight with an FAA inspector before I can solo for vision below standard in one eye, no issue-has never affected me, more like a formality for me)
I'm posting this mainly to thank everybody for their advice and support. I really appreciate it. Any other tips regarding stage check would also be appreciated.
