How Many Hours Did You Complete Your Commercial rating in?

the Chandelle (now THAT'S a VALUABLE maneuver to have in your pilot
'toolbox'),,


Really? Why? When would you need it? (Now, the piloting skills needed to
perform a chandelle are useful, but that's just a matter of skill and control
feel. The chandelle itself? Tell me.

Perhaps there's a fair amount of dogfighting in the RHV pattern.

??? A maneuver that allows you to accomplish a 180 degree turn WITH a climb
in a relatively small amount of space? Can you say "box-end" canyon?

Just curious.... How many hours did you complete your Commercial rating
in?

I took 12.2 hours of dual instruction in a 172RG. (Lazy 8s gave me
particular tought time.) Then a little over an hour for the checkride. I
had a total of 261 hours after finishing the checkride.

I recently started, and my instructor has said (somewhat depressingly) that
lazt 8's take a *lot* of practice. Our DE likes to see good aircraft
control, too. Did you practice them solo?

Anyway I need 10 hours in the Cardinal to get club signoff.

My log shows one solo practice flight about three-quarters of the way
through the training.

For those who aren't aware, the Chandelle originated as a WW1 dogfighting
manuever to shake a following combatant by out-turning and out-climbing.
Works in box canyons too.
