Solo 1: What's the active?

Total Time: 19.3
PIC time logged this flight: 2.5
Landings: 73

Today was a great day to fly, calm winds and clear skies from sunrise to sunset. Calm winds are great, except when they cannot decide from which "calm" direction they would like to blow from. I got to practice pattern reversal procedures 3 times in my block of flight time. One was a taxi back to the new active (no big deal), and two were performed while flying in the pattern.

I am feeling a bit "brain tired" right now, the only thing I can compare it to is when I started riding motorcycles on the street for the first time... and being mentally drained after riding trying to think ahead of everyone else around you, to survive. I would have liked to have known what the winds were doing at pattern altitude, I am pretty sure I got some unintended experience in tailwind approaches today.

Of all my landings, 5 were good and only two of those would I consider "really good" (not great, yet!). All the rest were "fair to Midland" (a Michigan phrase), except for two that I would like do-overs. Thankfully, I ended my solo session with one of the really good landings.

I go up again tomorrow, and I might try practicing some short field takeoff's. Sunny skies and calm winds are again forecast for tomorrow, I hope the wind picks a direction and sticks to it!
