I called the fuel truck to fill the tanks before heading to the airport. By the time I reached there around 7:45 am, tanks were already filled. I went ahead and performed the preflight inspection and we headed to the practice area taking off from Runway 11. Bill demoed a slow flight, power off stall, power on stall, falling leaf stall and the corresponding recovery procedures. I performed 360 degree turns in a slow flight configuration. It seems I can't proceed to the next stage until I master these techniques. All these maneuvers are suppose to help in recognizing the situations when the plane stops flying and enters a stall. This can very much happen while landing. So, this practice will help to recover from those situations while landing.
The Hobbs time of this flight was 1.1 hours. Cumulative Hobbs time: 7.8 hours.
