Stage III check today. At least it was a beautiful Fall day with light winds and only scattered clouds. We flew over to the Eastern Shore, did some unusual attitude recoveries under the hood, tracking to a VOR under the hood. Then some steep turns. Then S-turns, which I hadn't done in two years, but they came out OK. Then turns around a point - also for the first time in two years, but it was really easy.
Then we went to Ridgley to do a couple of trips around the pattern. One simulated engine-out landing, a normal landing, a short field takeoff, and a soft field takeoff. Then to Bay Bridge airport, where we refueled because the pump at Tipton was broken. Then another soft field takeoff and return to Tipton.
Next up - a final (hopefully) flight with my regular instructor.
