With no GA traffic on Sunday evening, I had to practice a few engine off landings. In this case I cut power on down wind for several landings. I am a big believer in the importance of practicing engine off landings quite often.
Dear friends, I wish you Mary Christmas and a Happy flight through 2018 Year. Take off is your possibility - but landing is your necessity. Then how many take offs - so many beautiful landings!
While we have an airport nearby we seldom fly from there. This is our local "aerodrome" with a 360 degree runway, where your landings are always upwind if you so choose
Have to fly > 50 miles away and 3 hours with 10 landings at night.
Among other things, it's hard to judge your altitude at night. Clouds are just blacker spots in the sky.
Black spots on the ground are either airports, or mountains, or lakes/ocean, or rough terrain.
A world first patent corset mechanism for the twist control of the Air Creation BioniX wing. The variable geometry allows the pilot to adjust the handling, speed & performance of the aircraft with the ability to go very fast, or ideally very slow for short field landings.
