Once again, there were a few lessons between this and the last one, but there was nothing exciting enough to report. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do that more no doubt, but this is the last time I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll mention it.<\/p>\n
Tonight we went out to do more maneuvering work, and ended up doing holds instead. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m at the point now where I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m tracking VOR\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s accurately, maintaining altitude, and generally flying the plane much better. Coupled with trimming (which I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m working hard to master) this will significantly reduce the workload that is so hard to manage during IFR flights. The holds went fine as well \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I need to be more careful about not changing groundspeed during holds (it wreaks havoc on the timing) but I nailed the entry, and eventually got the time right.<\/p>\n
Kent took the approach back into Van Nuys, which was a good learning experience for me. Seeing him 1 dot off the localizer 2 miles out was a real eye-opener. He was WAY off course from just 1 dot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
