Blog – Mock Flight Test 17/11/2024
Today’s mission was to work through the requirements again for the flight test concentrating on the issues I had last time and then adding in some low-flying tasks.
The weather was mint so no excuses there.
After running through our pre-flight, taxi, run-ups, and take-off we flew out to the training area and ran thru the following:
- Levelling off at a specified height
- Cruise flight into slow flight
- Stall – clean configuration
- Stall – Full flaps
- Wing drop stall
- Force Landing without Power
- Precautionary Landing
- Coastal Reversal
- Feature Reversal
- Climb to specified altitude
- Level flight on selected heading
- Flapless Landing
Without boring the heck out of you again , I was much better on most of these. I took a breath before each task, slowed it all down and went thru them methodically. I was very happy with them. The new low level tasks of precautionary landing, coastal reversal, and feature reversal still need work as I have not done these for a few years now so was quite rusty. This will come. They are not that hard to achieve.
Next lesson we will work on these too so that I keep progressing and improve.
Until next time…
