HeadInTheClouds Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 After not flying for ages I came home and will be doing some lessons while I am on holidays. Last time I flew the LSA 55 I did not appreciate it but knew I needed to get used to it. It took me a while to get used to landings, my first was crappy and second resulted in a go around (I flared to high, started sinking and put on too much power the stop the sink resulting in climbing about 10 ft, I probably could have landed in the runway left but though it best to go around and try again). My third landing, after a demo from my instructor was much better and I was quite happy with it. Overall the LSA took a while to get used to but now I enjoy the challenge flying it provides, and will hopefully be doing some solo in it soon! As well as moving on to advanced training techniques, getting ever closer to that 20 hour mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll find out next time I fly but I'm sure someone will post with the answer before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
