Maneuver Practice

Flight #: 062-066
CFI: Kristie H.
Aircraft: Robinson R22 Beta II
Aircraft ID: Various

Past 5 flights have all been maneuver practice... just honing the razors edge. The final result of it all:

• my normal approaches are rock solid - landing withing 3ft of desired point
• autorotations are passable, not perfect, but passable. I still need to work on my entry speeds... I keep slowing down without trying.
• air-taxi / quick stop - perfect.
• hover autorotations - damn fine. I've learned to roll off the throttle S L O W L Y, and all else is smooth.
• running landings - passable, need to work on my speed control here.
• running takeoff - perfect.
• max performance takeoff - perfect.

Feelin' good... feelin' really good.
