Jeff
Hobbs: 1.5 hrs
5-7pm.
Went to preflight the aircraft while Jeff was finishing up with another student. Of course: Murphy's law, the checklists were missing from the binder and aircraft, and after searching for them, I found the less-complete 25yr old dusty checklist in the glovebox. With only 2 hrs (had to be back at 7pm), we chose to do maneuvers (refresh) over SP bay. Went pretty well, except that my steep turns to the left were really not-great! I did experience our own wake turbulance on almost all of them though! That was pretty cool.
As weather cancelled two flights in the past week, and the week prior Jeff was on vacation, I was rusty. We came back for a landing at OAK that was probably the most ugly of my flying time thus far - even worse than the first day. Anything more (or even that bad) and Jeff would really have to take over.
random: we were asked for a short-approach, but had to taxi to the far (non-closed) taxiway Papa. This was a very *very* short approach (for me) - we flew basically straight to the end of 27L, turned right still over it, and landed probably 1000'-2000' before Papa. This threw me off - soon I'll get the picture of a good final approach.
