Don't forget your practice at the Navy OLF Field. Some exercises:
1. Land on the grass pad with the circle landing markers from all 4 cardinal directions. Do it again but do a 180 degree turn on landing to land facing 180 degrees opposite your approach heading.
2. Use the grass pad with the two single markers. Land on one marker, then fly sideways to the other marker, then back. Next land heading 270 on the left marker, hover, do a turn in place with the anti-torque pedals, then land on the other marker facing 90 degrees.
3. Practice approach to the grass pad next to the fire engine from all directions.
4. Approach the hover practice area on a heading of 90, and land on the landing marker(or hover), turn around and move into the hover area heading 270. See how long you can hover. Minimum of 90 seconds is fair, hover for 120 seconds is good, hover for 4 minutes is very good, hover for 5+ minutes excellent.
