Lesson 12: September 16
For the very first time in flight training, I did a flare that was almost right. In fact, a couple of landings later, my instructor offered to let me solo. I decided not to--since I was just starting to get the feel of flaring, I wanted to re-enforce that and sleep on it before I took the plane myself.
I also did my first real abort this day. The wind blew the nose to the left, and I over-compensated to the right. I ended up too high and all out of kilter. I aborted, which my instructor was pleased about.
