And don't be afraid to really stall the bird, Sue. You tend to recover too early, but I want to see you practice those stalls more thoroughly. They left me feeling shaky, so I tended to recover much sooner than necessary. Learning stalls is a critical part of any flight training plan. A stall happens when the plane's air speed drops too low to keep flying.
Stalls are an important part of every safe landing.
Pilots routinely practice their stalls at 5,000 feet or higher, where there is plenty of room to recover safely. A few minutes later, I was airborne, and asking God for his protection. Even though this was only my third solo, Jim's quiet confidence in my ability encouraged me. Still, I missed his reassurance from the other seat. I was on my own.
