James Sloan KPAO KLVK KPAO PPL training flight /// Troubleshooting rough running. Seems like spark plugs probably a little fouled. Starter duty cycle - 10 seconds, followed by 20 sec cool down Slow flight - lost 200 ft on entry. 2nd attempt (with flaps) ballon 100 ft when added flaps. 3rd attempt, lost 100 ft. Maintain heading +/- 10 degrees. Look outside more. Power off stalls - good. In turn: Recover with wings banked Power on stalls - slow to rotation speed before raising nose and adding power. Steep turns - Roll faster into bank, maintain 45 deg, look outside to judge if bank or pitch is changing. Simulated engine fire and power off landing - get to 100 knots. Shut off fuel. Fire out? Probably don’t restart. Short field landing - 2 good short field. 1 about 50 ft short Power off landing - 3 good power off landings [61.107(b)(1)(i) Preflight preparation: Airworthiness Requirements] [61.107(b)(1)(ii) Preflight procedures: Before Takeoff Check] [61.107(b)(1)(ii) Preflight procedures: Engine Starting] [61.107(b)(1)(iv) Takeoffs, landings, and go-arounds: Go-Around/ Rejected Landing] [61.107(b)(1)(iv) Takeoffs, landings, and go-arounds: Forward Slip to Landing] [61.107(b)(1)(iv) Takeoffs, landings, and go-arounds: Short-field Approach & Landing] [61.107(b)(1)(v)Performance maneuvers: Steep turns] [61.107(b)(1)(viii) Slow flight and stalls: Power-off Stalls] [61.107(b)(1)(viii) Slow flight and stalls: Power-on Stalls] [61.107(b)(1)(viii) Slow flight and stalls: Maneuvering During Slow Flight] [61.107(b)(1)(x) Emergency operations: Emergency Descent] [61.107(b)(1)(x) Emergency operations: Emergency Approach and Landing] [61.107(b)(1)(xii) Postflight procedures: After Landing Parking and Securing].
