More Circuits, Flap-less landings, emergency procedures and suchlike

Today we flew in the circuit for around an hour which was pretty good.

I firstly did 3 normal circuits with the usual amount of flap and then moved onto flap-less landing which I really enjoyed as this meant coming in o

n a much shallower approach at a much higher speed. It also meaning that I get to fly very low as you come in on finals during this i was im my element!! I loved the fact that we were a matter of 10-15 ft above tree height. it was amasing

We then did some touch and go's which were pretty cool as it saves time taxying, i also like the quick turnaround with it as you have no time to relax doing circuits with touch and go's you have to be constantly on the ball.

After this Richard demoed an engine failure after takeoff drill. Fortunately for us there are many open fields in Sywell so it is pretty easy to put an engine failed aircraft down. there was even lines on the field to give a straight line to follow, kind of like a centerline on the runway, we went through the drills to stop this from happening

Anyway thanks for reading and i look forward to my next lesson on sunday where i will get a go with the failure drills. ill tell you how that went on here afterwards

Cheers
