Past 2 weeks of flying summerized.

Well, it's been a busy past 2 weeks. So far I've logged about 16 hours of flight time and about the same in ground school.
It's going well, I no longer get motion sickness while flying which was a great hurdle to overcome, more of a relief really. I'm more comfortable with the steep banks and maneuvers that I have to do for training and am becoming overall quite comfortable in the plane.

I've cut back on the ground class time and spend more time in the cockpit flying, usually about 3 hours at a time performing all sorts of landings, takeoffs, etc.

Landings are definitely the toughest part and I'm working on making them much smoother. It's all about the approach. You have to begin slowing down before you get to the traffic pattern otherwise it messes up your entire landing. It's been tricky but I'm getting the hang of it.

Cross wind landings are interesting as you have to steer into the wind but compensate with rudder pressure to keep the plane lined up on the runway. You can't land sideways (crabbed) like you can with a larger passenger jet as the wheels are fixed in a small aircraft and would create a bad situation if you landed in a crab.

So anyway, it's coming along. I've completed my night flight requirements which include 10 landings/takeoffs, and 3 hours of night time flight.
Night flying is very cool. I enjoy it immensely. The fun part is being able to fly into an airport after hours when the runway lights are off and while approaching the airport you can turn on the runway lights from the plane by click the radio for different brightness of the lights.
It's a cool sight being able to see the runway lights light up, not to mention it gives you a good idea of where to land... minor detail.

Some of the maneuvers I've had to perform are turns around a point, s-turns over a road, steep 180' turns at a 45 degree bank angle. Cross wind landings/takeoffs, Power on and power off stalls (quite fun) MCA flight which is flying the plane as slow as it can possibly go without dropping out of the sky, i think we got it to under 40 knots which was kinda fun.

Have some more flight time this evening which I'm looking forward to. Seems to ve a little windy today so I have a feeling it's going to be more cross wind take offs and landings.... fun fun fun.
