Guest Jools Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hello everyone I'm a female student RA AUS pilot based in West Sale and looking fwd to completing my first solo soon - having a few issues with ruddering around turns and getting the final/landing leg under complete control but have completed the pre -solo exams - have earnt the title "masterchef" (for heavy mixing motions with the controls) from my incredibly patient instructor. I just seem to lose it when I need to get to 70 knots and maintain a decent altitude to flare in comfortably (what am I doing wrong folks? any suggestions?) Looking fwd to buying my own plane very soon :thumb_up: as I intend to fly to NT & far NQ on a fairly regular basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
