A really nice day today for a lunchtime solo flight. The sky was clear, winds light but shifty and Pontiac was using Runways 9L and 9R.
I took off from Runway 9L and headed to the northeast for the practice area.
Once near the proving grounds I did some clearing turns followed by some steep turns, slow flight, and did my stalls.
Then back to Pontiac for some pattern work.
The first landing tower asked me to keep my base in close so he could sequence some traffic and I obliged and did a darn nice landing wiht the winds form 030 at 8 if I say so myself. I'm talking smooth, even though I haven't landed on the 9 side in awhile solo or otherwise and its always fun to come over the water and tree line onto 9L.
Then I headed back and did it again and the winds came up to 10 knots out of 360 for a full crosswind of 10 knots, which was no problem to me at all, and I simply put in a crosswind correction and greased the landing. This gave much confidence.
The next pattern the wind shifted again but ended up right down 090 at 5 knots which made it really easy. Again another smooth landing.
Then the wind shifted to 130 at 6 and again I did a nice landing and decided to call it a day. Tower had me roll on tdown to the end which was rather nice of them and I then contacted ground, headed back to DCT, parked the plane and that was it.
1.3 and 4 landings.
