falling and stalling

practiced stalls today! always fun stuff. went over both power-on and power-off stalls, flying in the pattern, touch and go's, and some IR flying under the hood. i did well on the IR stuff, and flying the pattern (thanks flight-sim!), and i think i'm getting the hang of the landing sequence. i just need to remember more right rudder when doing power-on stalls, and to apply the throttle right away after stalling with the power-off. these are minor things, but i need to be thinking about them for next time and ultimately my check ride.

i have the day off tomorrow since my instructor is working. so i will be hitting the books and doing exam prep in the jepp books. next flight is scheduled for wednesday morning. and as always during the summer time in florida, that flight is weather permitting. until next time 4NM is clear of the runway.
