Channel: flysport
Date: 09/03/2022

Had some basics to go from Twin Oaks, let Lake Oswego cross my wing, then turn at Willamette Falls (Oregon City).
0:00 here we go! talk about using some hillsboro airspace, which I'm not to keen on with a sketch ADSB and transponder.
1:14 taking off 02
2:03 talking about timing my little segments.
2:18 coming in to Mulino, stumble over the radio call
3:17 wow stumbling on that call. ended up going around.
4:01 I start talking through the call before making it
4:15 "have we ever pitched 75 on the descent?"
4:50 short final
5:08 debrief, including a jumper coming down VERY FAST
6:41 "oregon city" and "lake oswego" are actually discrete places :) I started calling it 'lake lake oswego" after this.
7:46 taking off. too many beeps.
9:40 short final
10:51 we're gonna do a short field takeoff. talk about the RV12 POH procedure.
12:30 actually doing the short field. oh, this is a taxiway, not a displaced threshold.
14:17 short final
14:57 soft field takeoff discussion
17:35 sam demoes the short field takeoff
18:25 short field landing discussion (pitch to 55 on final, use (more) power)
18:50 it's like landing at Twin Oaks 20; into the final. poor speed control. "flaps up, simulate max braking"
19:45 I'll do a soft field takeoff.
20:29 I do the soft field takeoff. It's actually closer to how I should be doing the takeoff.
21:38 sam demoes a short field landing. actually "pushes it down", again not a bad strategy (don't wheelbarrow, but get down, level off, bleed off airspeed). "it likes to float".
23:25 I'll do a soft field takeoff. Talk myself through it.
23:57 here we go on the soft field takeoff. a little unsorted.
24:51 on final for a short field landing.
26:15 soft field takeoff. too many beeps.
26:57 soft field landing discussion. (set down soft, wheelie, power if needed to arrest descent)
27:57 sam demoes a soft field landing.
28:39 soft field takeoff. less beeping.
29:32 pilotage back to Willamette Falls, Lake Oswego. Set autopilot and check my tablet to verify some of my no-gps work, lol.
30:32 talking about using autopilot to descend. (setting to airspeed, reducing power to descend)
32:28 soft field landing discussion
33:40 short final. clunked it in.
