I couldn't agree more that it's vital to get glass time. I learned to
fly in a 2-33 an was transitioned to a "hot" 1-26. After flying that for about 80 hours I moved to another area found a new spot to fly. I went up with an instructor in a G103. Speed control (and coordination) were big issues. I remember going into the turn from base to final at about 58 kts and coming out at 68+ kts ... too high and too fast. the runway comes up quickly at that speed and with the instructor "yelling" in the back things were happeing much faster than I was used to. It took a bunch of flights to understand the energy that is gererated by a slippery ship. After that the transition into a 102 was easy. That was 30 years ago and I haven't been in a 2-33 since... |
