Project: MartysRV14A     -     Entry

Jan 12, 2022 8 Flight Day 8 Category: Flight
Fantastic day for flying. No clouds, lights winds. Goals today were to tune the AP without auto-trim and fly as many approaches as possible.

Morning Flight
- Flew to KCTZ and configured roll and pitch gains. Flew the VOR/DME A approach and landed for fuel. Very nice small airport.

Afternoon Flight
- Departed KCTZ, climbed to 5500 and recalibrated the AoA. Set-up and flew the LOC 06 approach.
- Flew the RNAV 24 approach at KCPC
- Flew the RNAV 23 into KLBT then did missed and entered hold. Left hold to do the ILS 06, but localizer was U/S.
- Flew direct to KSUT and did the RNAV 05 approach, broke off at 1000 and entered pattern for touch and go. Left pattern and flew the RNAV 23 approach and landed.

Summary
- A/P works well without auto-trim.
- Enter procedure at 90-100 kts. 50% power. 14 in/2700 rpm is good setting
- Maintain speed with power adjustment as pitch changes when capturing glide path
- Bring power into landing and cut power when at level pitch over runway. Come in faster.

Squawk List:
- Fly VOR to confirm NAV radio working
- Fly ILS 06 approach into KILM to confirm LOC is active then break-off before entering airspace.
- Engage auto trim and tune
- Reload databases
