Seventh Flight Today was a lot of fun, but I really did not do well on my landings. For some reason, I kept landing with my left arm (the one on the stick) very relaxed. So relaxed that when I touched down and felt that little bounce, my arm would move back slightly from the motion and cause the plane to pop back up in the air. When I came back down from that bounce, I’d do the same thing, except bounce a little higher. Some of my landings had 4 or 5 bounces before I’d give it full throttle and go around. Fortunately, these bounce landings were in the middle of all the ‘touch and goes’ I was doing so it didn’t look all that unusual if anyone was watching. Once I figured out I couldn’t be so relaxed, the bouncing mostly stopped. Flight time: 2.5 Total time: 8.4 Number of landings: 10 Total landings: 31 |
