Today's lesson was a short one. The lesson was originally meant for me to learn short and soft field takeoffs and landings, but there was a direct crosswind of 10 knots today which would have made it very difficult. We decided that it would be better to wait for some calmer winds or at least a headwind to learn some complicated new maneuvers.
I worked on slow flight, stalls, steep turns, and ground reference maneuvers. The ground reference maneuvers were slightly more difficult than usual- thanks to some aggresive winds aloft. Normally I do not have difficulty maintaining altitude during the ground maneuvers, but today I did. I can only hope that my stage check will not take place on a windy day like this.
I landed only one time, because of the crosswinds. It was a good landing though, aside from coming in a little fast. I landed on the upwind wheel first just like I was supposed to.
My stage check has been scheduled for Monday at noon.
