My usual instructor disappeared today so I flew with a newer instructor. We did more patterns around Pitt Meadows and showed me an easy way to get down to speed in the approach. Just before turning into base, bring down the RPM from 2100 to 1900 while maintaining pattern height. That should bring the speed down just to the bottom of the white ark. Once establish on the base, bring down 10 degrees of flap, start descending and bring the RPM to 1500. That should give a speed of 60 knots.
Now all I need to do is get used to the houses in front of me constantly growing bigger.

James,
Good luck and have FUN with your flight training. I have been self grounded for three months with a hip replacement so I know the feeling about pattern work....I had to knock some rust off.
I am so happy to be back flying, I think my lovely Bride is even happier!
