Weather and other commitments had conspired to keep me on the ground for almost a month, so it was great to go flying again. I didn’t do anything special on this flight, and I didn’t venture far (just out to my farm and back).
Upon returning to the airport, I decided to shoot some touch and goes to keep my landings in good shape. The first one was a bit of a bouncer, but they settled down after that. For my last landing, I decided to turn a tight circular base and final, rolling out of the turn on short final. It’s a bit more challenging (and interesting) than the typical square circuit with a 3/4 mile final from 500′ AGL or so. It’s also a good thing to practice, since it’s probably what I’d have to do in the case of an engine failure on downwind.
