Nailed it!

Today's flight was fairly uneventful, mostly reviewing the same maneuvers again. Constant rate climbs and descents, constant speed climbs and descents, steep turns, slow flight, and stalls.

I then did all the same maneuvers again with my attitude and heading indicators failed (except for steep turns of course, which are impossible with a partial panel).

I practiced compass turns. When using the magnetic compass, there are some errors that need to be compensated for. Say you are flying on a east/west heading. If you turn to north, you must undershoot your turns to the north, and overshoot when turning south. For instance, when turning north from east, you will roll out on a heading of 030 degrees, thirty degrees before north. Once you stop turning, the compass will right itself to the correct heading of north.

Every maneuver I did today I nailed. For example, my instructor failed my altimeter and had me climb 1000 feet to 5500. I climbed at 500 feet per minute for two minutes. Then my instructor pulled the cover off and the needle was dead on 5500. He was pretty impressed with that.

Next lesson is just the same thing again: more review with full and partial panel.
