    Another big day in the career of Mike K! He's already solo'd in the PA28, but he wanted to transition into the C172 as he felt more comfortable in it. In order to do that we had to train up to proficiency in the C172, but this wasn't an issue for Mike. He got it done quickly and now here he is soloing again!
    Congratulations Mike!

    Unrelated: But I'm currently working on emergency procedures and power off landings. I'm having a little difficulty judging with power off when in the downwind and base leg.
    On final, it's obviously easy to recognise the under/overshoot and pop flaps as required. But I'm having trouble judging on the downwind and working out when to turn in.
    I have no problem with normal landings, just power off approach.
    Any tips???

    • @LewDixAviation

      Count about 3-5 seconds after the engine “fails” and then turn to base and judge what you need. That’s what I usually do
