PSTAR Results
I got my PSTAR results back yesterday! My grade is…92% (four incorrect answers).
PSTAR?... check! Solo?...up next!
The PSTAR is an exam that students must take before being allowed to solo. It is made up of 50 questions taken from a publicly viewable list of 200 questions.
More Circuits
Since I couldn’t fly yesterday because of weather, Unal and I did an hour of circuits today.
Forced Landings and Runway Changes
So I flew a 1.8 hour flight with Unal today - completely the longest flight so far!
Introduction to the Circuit
Unal and I flew five or six circuits for one hour today. I had to do some of the radio calls, and had control of the plane the whole time.
The Fun Dangerous Stuff
A spiral dive is essentially a automatically tightening downward turn. The wings are still producing lift, but since the aircraft is banked at least 60 degrees
Slow Flight
This flight is taught since the flight characteristics I learn in it are the symptoms of dangerous things such as stalls and spins.
Range and Endurance
Yesterday I realized I hadn’t flown in a week, and that today would be a good day for flying
Another First...
I booked Unal for a flight today. He seems really good, so I think I’ll stick with him.
