flight tracks from flight 7

Mark plotted the flight track of some of my maneuvers from our last flight on maps. They are interesting to look at, ant quite revealing :P

The rectangle. The red line is the reference rectangle and apparently I wasn't flying as parallel to it as I though I did :P Turns weren't of a fixed radius, either...

The S turn: the entry should have been steeper. Not too bad for the first time, though :P

Turning around a fixed point. This was the worst one. The red dot was supposed to be the center point of the turn and the effect of the wind is obvious. I did get progressively more and more nauseating during this move, though, so that's my excuse... :P

First landing pattern back at PAO. Doesn't look too bad actually. Altitude control on downwind was pretty good and the descent was smooth. Of course as I mentioned in the last post, I flared too early at the last moment and bounced a little bit.
