Mulino
Today’s flight consisted of a number of landings over at Mulino State Airpark. These landings consisted of the usual: normal, short, and soft field. On top of this however, I got to practice and do a great job at some short approach landings including and a “power-off 180.” The “power-off 180” is a commercial maneuver which requires landing without the throttle. I nailed my last one after just one practice landing. Check this video for more info on the maneuver.
On the way back from Mulino, I worked on:
- Diversions to an alternate airport
- Steep 45s
- Slow flight vs MCA
- Some time under the hood (can’t see outside the plane)
- Recover from flight into clouds
Overall I did pretty well on most everything we covered. My return to Troutdale went great as well. That is until I actually attempted my landing. Steve was having me do a no-flap landing. This requires configuring the plane well before getting to Troutdale. I had everything setup and my descending rate was great. It wasn’t until I was on a long final that instead of pitching up, I increased my throttle causing me to descend while increasing my airspeed which I needed to be decreasing. When I finally got slow enough and ready to land, I messed up my soft-field landing I wanted to do by increasing my throttle before I leveled off. Oh well, things to work on for next time!
After discussing the flight with Steve, I was gifted with looking at one beautiful plane:

Not this time. I’ll be sure to aim for you next time I’m over that way.
