Solo 10: 7-up 7-down on 7/7/07

Total Time: 48.6
PIC time logged this flight: 1.3
Landings: 166

My FI has advised me that I will never realize my goal of a perfect landing every time. The best I can do, is gain experience to know how to react in any given situation, so that the landing can be optimal for the conditions that exist. With that in mind, I just wanted to practice landings today.

7 takeoffs followed by 7 landings on July 7, 2007

Landing #1 Ended up low on short final, landed flat with a small bounce
Landing #2 Came in higher, ended up slow on short final
Landing #3 Squirrely on touchdown, approach good
Landing #4 Good approach, a smidge side loaded on touchdown
Landing #5 Side loaded again, over-compensating for small crosswind
Landing #6 OK, wondering if right tire is low on air pressure
Landing #7 The best one of the day

Next goal: Finish last section of Written Test Prep, take a couple practice tests, and schedule myself for the FAA Written Exam.
