QPT, 15.4 hours (2.1 solo)
I’m a day late here, but had a very busy day. I took 5915A over past Propwash and practiced my turns around a point. After circling the same silo for a good 15 minutes I started getting the hang of it! I got tired of turning left (its easier to see out the left side…

QPT, 14 hours (.7 solo)
Fresh off my successful solo and passing the FAA written, we took off to the northwest and did maneuvers all day. I’m getting better at turns around a point. I must have circled that damn tree ten times when my instructor finally said “Ok, let’s go back and do some touch & gos.” “What, you…

QPT, 10.0 hours!
1/4 of the way to the minimum required hours! Today we head weather threatening to strand us if we strayed too far from the airport. It ended up being a non-issue, but safety first! We just stuck around 52F and did touch & gos. I am getting really good on my landings… such a light…

Just touch and go today

QPT, 8.9 hours
Pretty standard day today, except I am really sticking my landings! We started by doing steep turns in the practice area to clear the airspace, then we did two power off stalls and two power on stalls. I think I finally got the 172 to break on the stall for that last power on stall.…
