I had another flying lesson today, but as Doncaster were busy we went to Sandtoft (not sure I spelt that right) and it was a nightmare, origionally I started flying in a PA-28 and started the circuits in Sandtoft, before switching to the DA40, but due to the size of the DA40 my instructor thought it safer to use Doncaster...
Well I managed to get the plane on the ground during the lesson, bounced it twice and after landing reasonably ok put all the flap away so nearly didn't get airborne the otherside...
On reflection I don't think my head was straight, the circuit itself seemed ok, the approach was a little off centre and the descent seemed fine, I just didn't pull back enough when close to the ground, I thought it was a perspective issue, but on reflection my mind just wasn't focused enough. I didn't like landing at Sandtoft in the PA-28 so didn't look forward to doing it in the DA40 which I think reflected in my flying.
I have another lesson booked for thursday, but the weather isn't looking good so it might get cancelled if it doesn't then I am going to get my head back into shape and master landing at Sandtoft, I know I can do it and the irrattional fear/dread is silly of me.
I didn't enjoy today and I think it reflected in my flying. Next time it will be perfect, if I can master Sandtoft then I should be able to land anywhere.
On a positive note, I did have one good landing and the radio checks seem to be coming a lot more natural on the downwind leg and also the final approach.
