We did some more nigh flying and simulated instrument flying tonight. He had me try some steep turns to disorient me more and see if I would believe the instruments and fly accordingly. We also tried some power off stalls while I couldn’t see out the window. This was the hardest part and I pitched too far forward in my recoveries. We tried two night wheel landings–they both turned out fine but still need some work.
I was expecting to have forgotten some since my last flight was about a week and a half ago, but it seemed I remembered everything and I felt like I am still improving over my previous flights.
The flight to Enterprise sounds like it is probably not going to happen. I can’t leave earlier than 8:00am and need to be back by 2:00pm. The weather would likely need to be almost perfect also. He told me to plan a couple of other shorter cross-country flights in different directions so almost regardless of weather I’ll be able to fly somewhere.
