Continuing to practice touch and go and steep turns in the Cessna 172, maintaining altitude and bank angle during steep turns is slightly better than before, looking at the near figure-eight track drawn on the local map still brings a sense of accomplishment. In the past, my attention was mainly focused on altitude and bank angle; after a few days of practice, there has been some improvement, but I hadn’t paid much attention to speed stability. During today’s flight, I paid closer attention to the Airspeed Indicator and found that the speed fluctuated quite a bit, very unstable between 80 and 100 knots; this simply won’t do. From now on, I still need to focus on keeping speed variations within 10 knots and practice more.

The issue with touch and go remains the excessive descent rate after the base leg, causing the altitude to drop too quickly. Although there has been some improvement by paying attention to it, it is still not ideal; this task will still take time to be gradually resolved.
