"Clear Prop"

The check list. Here Jamie ponders the last item, "Is the brain in gear?"

During climb out, a brief pose. 

Dramatic shot turning cross. As part of our fly neighbourly procedures, we try to avoid flying directly overhead buildings, especially the shed you see here. 

Turning onto downwind. Check for traffic. Always keeping note of the angle to the airfield.

Downwind checks. Airspeed with reference to the end of the runway. Attitude right? 

Attitude OK. What a beautiful day. A moment to savour. 

 Greg seems happy. Aircraft going well. Student alright too.

Turning onto base. Radio call. Airspeed max 60 knots. 90% of the time looking at the runway.

Too low?

 Play the waiting game.

Looks right now.

Concentration on landing. Fly it down, hold it off. Stay steady.  Don't let it land. Oh look, it landed!

That was OK. Another time.

And again, and again, and again...
