On the agenda for today is a flight test review solo where I go through the same manoeuvres and emergency procedures covered in my previous flight test review.
Before starting my pre-flight checks on my aircraft for today, 24-7984 J170, I ran my flight plan past David for his approval:
- Normal takeoff departing to the East
- Slow cruise on way out - 2400RPM 70KIAS
- A few steep turns
- Stalls
- Forced landing simulation
- Head back to YBAF requesting circuits on arrival
- Circuit 1 - normal touch-and-go
- Circuit 2 - glide approach touch-and-go
- Circuit 3 - flapless approach touch-and-go
- Circuit 4 - short field landing stop-and-go with short field takeoff
- Circuit 5 - normal with full stop landing
I basically practiced all the above except the circuit emergencies (glide and flapless approaches) and short-field landing & takeoff.
On my second circuit when requesting a glide approach, ATC was unable to comply due to traffic at the time. I was running out of time as I wanted to be finished up about 10am so called it a day finishing with 3 normal circuits on arriving back to Archerfield.
A fun area solo with some lumps and bumps :-)
I've booked in an area solo consolidation flight for 3rd January, as I'd like to get some more area solo time before the Flight Test and also feel I need to improve some manoeuvres and emergency procedures before my Flight Test for Pilot Certificate. I also need to get my BAK exam done before my Flight Test.
Until next time have fun, fly safe and have a great Christmas and New Year! :-)
