This week was a productive week with a ground brief on systems and a training flight in the 172RG. The systems brief is quite extensive so we only got through the power plant section. This week we'll tackle the rest of the systems subject areas starting with electrical.
Had to cancel one flight due to weather but was able to fly yesterday. This flight started with lazy eights and chandelle's and this was the first time that I've tried these maneuvers from the right seat. We finished the flight with a short field landing and power off 180 landing. I also got to experience a simulated engine failure after takeoff. I hadn't done one of these in a while and I knew something was up when my instructor requested an "option takeoff" with the tower. At about 100', the power got pulled. I landed ok, but should have pitched down a little more to establish best glide.
