KCRQ PatternWork June 2026

Landing practice at Carlsbad KCRQ for the final push to complete PPL. Started with normal landings, then short and finished with a soft field. Targeted 500 footers for the shorties. Hit 2/3 on Soft Field with a little float on the first 2. The 3rd had a sink and skipped on the rears early. Soft Field had a little crosswind so had the 3-wheel touchdown but still need to work on keeping the nose higher throughout flare rollout to keep the nosegear off the ground longer. 0:00 Takeoff 8:36 Normal Landing 1 14:50 Normal Landing 2 25:00 Short Field 1 33:00 Short Field 2 39:40 Short Field 3 53:53 Soft Field
