Regaining Confidence

After a pretty rough session last Saturday, I went out and flew with a little apprehension today. I ended up greasing my first landing of the day with butterflies in my stomach. Before my session was over, I had performed 9 more landings, 6 of which I really liked. I lowered my approach speed to about 70 kts (as opposed to nearly 80 last week, which is what John, Alan and I think was the problem).I simply stayed in the pattern today, but now that I'm regaining some confidence in my landings I'll probably go out a practice a couple of maneuvers next weekend. In addition, I may try to get out to the airport and fly for half an hour or so this week just to keep my feet wet.

What a relief to know that my landings weren't broken!
