Yesterday was my last flight with Emily (at least for a while) since James is returning this Sunday. I had an excellent time flying with Emily and she gave me a number of good pointers. I realized though that there is a lot I do not know about flying still and a lot I still need to get down before I am comfortable soloing.
I wasn’t too excited about my final flight with Emily since during this flight it seemed like I forgot everything I had practiced last week. My landings are getting much better so that is all well and good, but my use of the controls tend to be kinda jerky and something I really need to smooth out. When I try to correct my flying I sometimes over-correct and then attempt to fix that I do it again. Feels like a big mess. I am just trying to hard to make things go well and when they don’t I get somewhat frustrated and begin to over-correct even more. I really just need to relax and take my time correcting the plane. I also need to use my rudders more effectively!!!
The flight consisted of ground reference maneuvers (S-turns, Turn around a point) and some landings.
Overall I had a great final flight with Emily and look forward to making some great progress with James over the next couple weeks and beginning my soloing.
