Polishing those landings

The weather was very marginal today, so we decided to just work on polishing my landings. Sounded great to me – they are the hardest thing to do if you ask me.

Very focused today. Besides being a bit long (maybe 200 feet past the numbers), my first landing was PERFECT. RIGHT on the centerline, BARELY able to feel the tires hit! So nice. 4 or 5 more like that, working on being closer to the numbers, and ALL of them were 8’s or better! Some clouds started accumulating at about 1000 feet, so we decided to head in and do some ground school to prepare for my solo. We went over my checklists (to be sure I understood WHY I did everything on them), then through Richard’s stall/spin test, and then through the pre-solo test given by the FBO (AV8, Inc.) where we debrief. Very educational. Another flight scheduled for tomorrow to polish a bit more, then a pre-solo phase check with a different CFI on Friday! Monday I should solo!
