After today’s lesson, I feel confident\u00a0in saying I’m “starting to get the hang of it.” We practiced more pattern work today, providing me another opportunity to improve on and perfect the things I’ve been struggling with in my previous lessons. While still nowhere near perfect, my landings were more controlled and my CFI commented that he only had to apply a small amount of correction on a couple of the touchdowns. For the most part, all the landings during todays lesson, no matter how rough, were my doing.<\/p>\n
I flew in N733ZK again today. There is an appreciation developing for how much easier taxiing is in this Skyhawk and for the overall better control I have over the rudder while in flight. My CFI has also noticed that this aircraft seems to perform better (while it’s only a very marginal improvement) than N738GE. For $5 more an hour, it might be worth it to book this plane more often and avoid the headache of lousy rudder pedals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
