Today we have begun work on some pre-checkride prep. What that boils down to is going back to basics.

We spent some time in the pattern going over performance takeoffs and landings and also did some ground reference maneuvers. I can say I definitely need the practice since it’s been nearly a year since I have actively done ground reference maneuvers and steep turns.

As far as I am concerned these things were not up to par today so I will be getting in the sky as much as I can the next few days.

I logged 2.1 hours today but realized these hours don’t mean much anymore. It’s what I can do in the airplane, not how long I’ve flown it.
