This morning's lesson was tough and long. It was lost procedures, divert, VOR use, autopilot use (first time) and soft field landing. A note, if you haven't reviewed doing a full flight plan (with legs, endurance, fuel consumption, heading calculations and so on) then do it. It's been a while since I had done one (ground school specifically) and I defnitely showed it. I had forgotten how much goes into a plan. My instructor had to review a fair amount with me before we left. We flew to to KMRB using MRB VOR then to KOKV. Back at KJYO my "soft field" landing was more like a "at least the plane is on the ground now" type one. Maybe next time...
It is fun though Next lesson: night flying.
