N493GW 1.1 hrs - Pretty crappy weather day with light rain and 2500' ceilings and 1000' scattered layer at KBFI. More right seat training and I talked my CFI ("student") through the run-up and takeoff. I was responsible for the radio and cloud clearance for the flight. We headed out over Lake Sammamish and setup for slow flight and power off stalls. I had to take the controls for the first time as my instructor put the airplane in an intentional unusual attitude.
After that I was the student again, and had a simulated engine failure. I'm getting more comfortable with these and the secret is to spiral down over your intended landing site and roll out on the downwind at pattern altitude. After going around over the cows, we headed back to KBFI for a short field landing.
Next week I'm moving back into the 172RG.
