Sport Pilot Talk

I just received my endorsement for Solo landings and takeoffs at another airport within 25 NM - 61.93(b)(1)

My CFI told me to practice my maneuvers. I'd like to put my time to the best use and am thinking that I should write myself a lesson plan before each flight and start a journal to document what I worked on and how well or poorly I performed the maneuvers in terms of the PTS.

I'd love suggestions from the group!

That might be a good idea if it helps you remember what you need to work on. Personally, I would just log the maneuvers I worked on in my log book.

I second this, good advise...

Just remember, your logbook could become evidence in court if there is ever an infraction or lawsuit. Be careful what you write in there. For instance, I wouldn't write such as "I really suck at landings," etc.

S turns across a road.
Turns around a point...learn wind compensation and altitude control
climbs/descents to defined altitudes and headings
slow flight, flaps/no flaps, holding altitude keeping ball centered, recognize power requirements for these trimmed conditions
Pattern entries..crisp and at altitude, trim the airplane so you're not fighting it down final. CENTERLINE control...center the stripe between the mains.
Go around practice, climb power/positive rate, work flaps up gradually, maintaining runway alignment all the way.

Just a few that I work on when I'm out knocking off the rust.
