Well, it appears the aircraft is reusable...that's always a good
thing...looked like a lot of corrections on first few approaches but it
settled down.

About the only advise I could offer would be to not wait 8 years before doing
some pattern work again. Well that and aim for the 1,000 foot markers. I know
that's one of those "things" but it makes sense to me to aim down the runway
a ways when there's plenty of room available.


Actually I do pattern work quite frequently, touch and goes that is,
what I don't do is the take off techniques. I almost felt out of my
element!

Yeah, I tend to aim closer to the numbers then the aim points even
with longer runways. Easier for me and much less braking for me to
make mid field turn off by "rolling out" then landing on the 1000 foot
markers.

I really appreciate this kind of feedback!!
