Aileron

Four week hiatus because of work/travel. Landings, no flap landings, simulated engine out landings, engine out on takeoff.

Flaring is getting better. I had three really solid landings. Another two were acceptable. The other two got kind of crazy. It would help if I work on stabilizing my approach better; glide slope still varies. Keep the nose centered through the flare and rollout. Keep the elevator back during rollout. Lining up on centerline is getting better. Was difficult sometimes keeping track of orientation with runway during crosswind and downwind legs; it's easy at KPAO because I have all my landmarks memorized, but at KHWD, I don't know what to look for and there are more distractions, like airliners in the KOAK charlie only one-thousand feet above me and traffic on the parallel runway. I should bug the runway heading as part of initial descent.

Feel better managing stress with engine out.
