Checking In At Dogleg Sandbar
Posted: Sun Dec 18, 2016 1:46 am
It had been a few months since I went into one of my favorite landing sites close to home.
This is a good example of a continuous rate descent, constant power and airspeed all the way to touchdown using altitude and lateral positioning to make a challenging approach much safer and easier.
The departure has lots of room to climb or just go straight out, but I took this as a good chance to practice a rudder turn after takeoff to continue up river with minimal bank input.
