Cirrus SR20 OWD Solo Pattern 11-4-09

This video was shot during a pattern practice at Norwood. More than a month before I had been re-checked out in this plane (see the video from September 28th), but weather and scheduling kept getting in the way of flying it again. I finally got the schedule to work and decided to spend a little time working with the plane in the pattern. It worked out great as my first landing was less than stellar, but the next two were really great. I hadn't soloed in this plane for over a year, but I have so much time in her that things seem to have come back quickly. This HD video is from the last pass I made on this day and has multiple camera views along with ATC audio from me, the Tower and another plane first entering the pattern and later looking for the FBO.

Yes, but it was pretty much right down the runway. I was using 35 and the ATIS was 320 at 14.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, that hold short line at 35 is very conservative. Compared with 28 where it's right at the runway edge.

Yes, listen starting at about 3:12. I get told that I'm number 2 following Bonanza traffic on a 1 mile final. I tell him that I have the traffic in sight and he then clears me for the option in position 2 following that traffic. This was the second or third time around for me, so we were using a little short-hand between us since he knew I was working on pattern. So for example, he called me before I called him this time at mid-field. Listen again for "cleared for the option" at about 3:18.

Nice landing! I always find it interesting when I'm holding short of 35 and the hold short line is so far down on alpha.

Cool pattern work. Great video as always! Im jealous - that Curris is much cooler than my Piper Warrior........ :)
