When I was a 2-hour student I was lucky just to get it in the air and not over rotate.
I will be the first to admit that after 2 hours of instruction and I had to solo, I would Not be here right now. I remember my first attempt @ landing after hours of stalls And recovery just to get the fill. I had 5 hours in a 152 and the in instructor said I was ready For my first landing and I can remember the palms of my hands starting too sweat.Down wind was find and then turn base and thin finial, well this is were I learn a new Term, (PORPUIES) AND I WAS ON A ROLLER COASTER to the ground. I have seen
50 hours pilots do this right to the ground and never attempted a go-around, I have race
All my life and know the fine line not to cross and landing with only 2 hours even in a 152 Is no hill a climber? I’m glad you are here to talk about it.
