Hi,
glad to hear you passed, is 300 the normal height for the release, I'm certain that mine was much lower, so low that only a straight ahead landing was possible and that was just for check before going solo plus everything else you've mentioned.
At a later stage, poss what we called stage 4, we had to cover up airspeed and altimeter, Instructor took off, we had to call out speed at various points and what height we thought we were at, we had to approach and land on a runway that we could no land on at any other time.
I miss the gliding now, had slipped disk in 94' and had to give up the aerobatics at the time.
Good luck with your first passenger ( victim
).
I'll never forget my instructor saying to me (after neg g exercise) 'you didn't like that did you' No I replied, 'good' he said ' you can do it again'
That's was close to the point where instructors were just spare ballast
enjoy your future flying, I'm jealous!!
I have aflight coming up next March with a difference for me, I'm not landing in the plane
at 15,000 ft I'm jumping out
for charity.
regards
steve
May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.
