348 was down for maint. last week when I was to fly (wed) and thinking about solo. We did about 12 T&Gs, with 2 or 3 go-arounds (2 by me I think, 1 asked for by tower for traffic on the runway 27L)
Wind was (atis) 190 @ around 7 - although we had left quartering tailwhinds the whole time (different gusts etc). Most landings were with 10degrees flaps - and much *much* better this time! landing with a tailwhind was tricky, but cool... wing-low method works really well, but I need to get used to trimming (not the trim wheel) the plane one glidepath with the approx amounts of rudder and aileron to keep the centerline and also aimed straight down the centerline. We did a short approach or two (two simulated engine failures) that went pretty well.
"sight picture" x 3 - rememeber this to keep the turns moving in the pattern (not looking at the attitude indicator too much).
