I found my self at the airport to review some information I needed for my check ride, and ended up flying. Go figure.
Simple flight solo review: 360's, slow flight, power on and power off stalls, turns around a point, and to Lost Nation Airport for some landing practice and slips to landing.
Since I have been having issues with carrying too much speed on short final, I decided to break that habit and watched my target landing spot more carefully and make sure my final 30 seconds is at 60-65 knots. End results? 2 landings at Lost Nation and 1 at Cuyahoga County within 200 feet of the target (the threshold).
Prior to my practice, a pilot advised me that my jitters are normal and that I needed to relax and I should do fine.
Today, I will finish the IACRA on-line with my CFI and hope to get signed off today. Then today and tonight study the ASA Private Oral Exam Guide, and finish my flight plan for my simulated cross country.
Fingers crossed.
