Good job! Work on talking a little bit more about your intentions and speak up a little bit when going through the checklist. Remember that whoever is evaluating you might not understand why you are doing what you are doing even if it is for a good reason so you want to make it very clear why you are doing what you are doing.
## Steep Turns
- within ACS tolerances
- bank angle was consistently about 3-4 degrees less than 45 for both left and right turn
- altitude, heading rollout, and airspeed good
## Turns Around a Point
- good
## S-Turns
- be careful using the MFD to determine wind direction, make sure that the airplane is flying straight and level and wait before relying on the indications
## Landings
### Normal (with Foreward Slip)
- foreward slip was acceptable but be a little bit more aggressive on the controls
### Soft Field
- slightly left of centerline, centerline was still between main landing gear, don't be afraid to go around when you are off
- approach, touchdown, and rollout from the landing good
### Short Field
- be quicker to bring up the flaps after touchdown
- approach and touchdown point great
## Short Field Takeoff
- great job

# Previous End of Course Progress Check Notes (Andre Mitchell 12/17/2024)
Alexis Severance's EOC Flight:
Alexis Severance - Private Pilot EOC Progress Check Flight
Check Instructor: Andre Mitchell
Areas Of Discussion:
SP needs to review the Leaning Procedures on the ground. (Amplified Checklist)
SP needs to review with her instructor how to effectively check the autopilot.
When turning, the yoke should be full aft.
PA.II.C.R1 - Visually check left, center and right before starting the engine.
PA.IV.C.K1 - If there is a takeoff with an obstacle, the amount of runway needed to clear the 50ft obstacle should be brief before the takeoff.
Soft-Field Takeoff. The takeoff was within standard per the POH, SOP and ACS.
PA.VII.C.S4 - The rpm for a Power On Stall does not have to be exactly 1200. Powering by to 1200 will sometimes cause the stall warning to sound before actually getting to 55 knots. Power setting can be set to no less than 65 percent.
Unsatisfactory Areas:
Checklist Usage
PA.II.B.K2 - SP did not announce the start and the completion of the checklist. Also, SP did not verify the climb checklist. SP flew for 10 NM towards KORL before completing the cruise checklist.
Steep Turns
PA.V.A.S5 - SP did not maintain the parameter within the ACS. Airspeed fell to 79 knots on the rollout of the second turn
Ground Reference Maneuver - Rectangular Course
PA.V.B.7 - SP did not maintain the parameter within the ACS. SP fluctuated on altitude and airspeed. Altitude fell to -120ft, Airspeed +10 knots.
Unfortunately, the weather started to deteriorate rapidly, and the field became IFR, so we could not complete the landings.
