# 7/19/2024 ## Steep Turns - Take your time getting set up for steep turns, and practice getting used to the sight picture outside that can be used to maintain both a left and a right turn - starting out don't worry about rolling out on a specific heading, but just getting more comfortable with holding altitute, bank, and airspeed consistently - once you get a little bit more comfortable with that, start practicing with rolling in and out of the turns ## Pilotage - practice using the VFR sectional to navigate around the orlando area. You can do a similar flight like we did out to the east practice area and back in, while pointing out landmarks and visual references around you - Orienting yourself using landmarks and the VFR sectional is something that takes a lot of practice, and the ground trainer (especially using VR) can be very helpful for this - Feel free to reach out if you want me to make more scenarios to practice with ## Diversion - practice with a diversion to different airports nearby - the main challenges we had with our diversion in the airplane was doing all of the other items while flying the airplane. Remember to take your time getting things done so you can continue to focus on flying the airplane (be cautious about maintaining your altitude) Additionally, continue to practice with stalls and slow flight, and even when flying around in the simulator remember to use our pitch and power settings that we should be using in the airplane.
