Flight Debrief: 17th Lesson Super-Mini-Mock check ride

Time this lesson: 0.8
Total Time: 66.4
Landings: 218

Today was planned as a morning "mock" checkride with my FBO's Chief Flight Instructor. The weather did not cooperate (low clouds with rain moving in) and so I made the call to scrub. The C-FI offered to make the best of it by evaluating my three types of takeoff and landings (normal, soft, and short) and so we just stayed in the pattern.

My short and soft field landings need work, but it's more about adding some refinement to the maneuvers (his words) which means a bit more practice for me. The best part of today's flight was getting a demonstration from the C-FI, it was very informative.

The C-FI also gave me a bunch of tips and pointers for the checkride.

*Side Note* My suction cup mount and data cable for my Garmin Geko have arrived, they both work great. Pictures and tracks super-imposed on Google Earth soon!
