Pilot Progress Record

Pilotage
• Demonstrates confidence in VFR navigation across multiple locations, including Bantayan, Hilongos, Dumaguete, Ormoc, and Panglao.
• Effectively utilizes pilotage techniques to maintain situational awareness and ensure accurate course tracking.

Situational Awareness & Communications
• Proactively monitors and reports traffic along the route.
• Maintains effective radio communication, ensuring clear and timely transmissions without unnecessary delays.

Traffic Pattern Operations
• Improved adherence to standard traffic pattern procedures, ensuring proper entry, spacing, and sequencing.
• Requires further refinement in runway selection based on wind cone interpretation and real-time weather conditions.

Takeoff Procedures
• Demonstrates controlled pitch attitude during takeoff, avoiding excessive nose-up tendencies observed previously.

Landing Performance
• Consistently improving landing techniques, including approach stability and touchdown accuracy.
• Requires continued practice for enhanced precision and consistency in varying wind conditions.

Action Plan for Further Improvement
• Conduct additional training focused on rapid wind assessment and runway selection.
• Increase crosswind landing practice to enhance control and stability.
• Continue refining communication efficiency in high-traffic environments.
• Maintain regular VFR navigation exercises to strengthen confidence in diverse airspace conditions.
