We departed from runway 19 direction W and on to Luino where the castle and pier along the lake would simulate a landing strip (at 2000',v=70mph). We would do GA, after FINAL with flaps 3 on top of the strip we would do full throttle, keep level and reduce to flaps 2 and then to 1 when we reach climb speed. At 2300' (clear) flaps were up and landing light off. At 3000' we turned left to the x-WIND and kept climbing until we reach level off at 3500' (v=100mph, rpm=2300) where we would now be on DOWNWIND side of the runway. We then checked apps (altimeter, gyros, fuel, mixture rich, carb heat, landing lights). When the start of the runway is next to us we put flaps 1 with v<100. We then fly at v=90mph until start is 45' behind us. We then turn 90' onto BASE and set rpm=1600, flaps 2, v=80 and start our descent. We turn right for FINAL and do final check (carb heat off, mixt set, flaps 3, landing clearance), speed stays at v=70mph. We line up with runway and simulate a landing before another GA.
This was repeated 5x, bad weather was closing in LSZA so we took off home... got really cloudy and scary. Evelyn had to take over the controls thru the bad part until we had good visibility again.
