Another Newbie

[Guest Jools]

Hello everyone

 

I'm a female student RA AUS pilot based in West Sale and looking fwd to completing my first solo soon - having a few issues with ruddering around turns and getting the final/landing leg under complete control but have completed the pre -solo exams - have earnt the title "masterchef" (for heavy mixing motions with the controls) from my incredibly patient instructor. I just seem to lose it when I need to get to 70 knots and maintain a decent altitude to flare in comfortably (what am I doing wrong folks? any suggestions?) Looking fwd to buying my own plane very soon :thumb_up: as I intend to fly to NT & far NQ on a fairly regular basis

Jools, great to have another female flyer on board :thumb_up: ...Don't you hate that last fase of final and trying to nail it :ah_oh: I've said to both my CFI and FI that they'll both be mentally scared for life I always ask new "Girls" that appear on this site..Have you joined AWPA (Australian Women Pilots Ass.) :thumb_up: I found them a great and wonderful support, you can contact your Vic branch on the net....Good luck with the approaching "Solo" :thumb_up:

 

Keep it in the "Green" girlfriend and Fly Safe.
