I Fly and My CFI Makes Repairs

It wasn't a big deal. The sun was quite bright in the afternoon sky and the visor on my CFI's side of the plane was installed backwards. So, he took it apart while I was practicing landings today and put it in properly. At one point he said, "Tell you what, you fly the plane and I'll work on this. Sound good?"

That's right... we did landings again. Here's my problem. I can get the plane on the ground without killing us just about every time. But in the last two lessons my landing were crappy at the beginning of the lesson and really, really good at the end of the lesson. So, I'm kind of in a rut. I've got to work on remembering the things that made the landings good at the end of the last two lessons and make them work at the beginning of the lesson. Then I have to string several good ones together.

Once we're done with that, we can practice some of the landings I'll need to perform during the FAA test. In particular, soft field landings, short field landings, emergency landings (which I've already done a little bit of).
