I went and got SES current today in anticipation of my MES rating in a few weeks. Lovely (though hot!) day for floats today in central Florida. Just enough breeze to ripple the surface so glassy water techniques not required, but not enough to even weather vane the plane much. Did slow taxi and docking (to fuel the plane), take off from Lake Dora, flew down to Lake Apopka and did 5 landings, step taxi and turn, returned to Lake Dora and did a landing and beach.
On my first landing I relaxed the back pressure on the yoke, big no-no! 3rd landing I let the sink rate get high and bounced, but "did everything right" to recover: added power, kept nose up followed through and landed. Next 2 were really nice, gentle landings.
So, get a little more time in the twin in the next couple of weeks then off to Brooke's in Coure d'lene for CP-MES in their Beech 18.
