What we did today:

• Flew to Winder and did landings. Third solo landing set today

What went well:

• Sitting up taller seems to have helped a ton with runway alignment. Score one for the short guy! 
• Pattern work is a bit more squared up. (link to graphic to follow)
• Because I'm lined up better, less side load on the main wheels.

What didn't go so well:

• Sitting up taller also changed my view of the final phase of landing and I failed to keep the nose up as high as I should on one of my solo landings...Rick called it a '3 point landing'. Not as bad as landing on the nose wheel first but a no-no at any rate. 
• Radio calls at Winder. I got stuck on 'Gainesville' for the first half dozen calls...durrrr.

What I need to work on:

• Wash, rinse, repeat
• Every landing better than the one before.
• Every pattern better than the one before.
• Radio calls. This time I got the 'two nine' thing down but blew one turn call (called base when I was on downwind) and mis-identified a runway I'd cleared after landing.

Prep for next flight:

• Off for the rest of this week. Not going to think much about flying this week.
