Remarks
- 1 LOC Rwy 36L at APC (night)
- 1 VOR-DME at PAO (night)
Libor pointed out several mistakes I made in this flight.
- I passed the assigned altitude twice more than 200 feet
while climbing. This is because I was trying to do
something different when I was close to the assigned
altitude (e.g., changing the radio frequency, or tuning
VOR OBS.) I should focus on the altitude (and do nothing
else) when I was close to the assigned altitude.
- I forgot the obstacle departure at APC because I expected
the LIZRD THREE departure and did not check the obstacle
departure in advance.
- I should descend more aggressively at approach. Iwas too
high for a long time at APC.
- I should not put an approach plate on my knee board. I
put reclosable fasteners on my handheld GPS and approach
plate holder so that I can attach the approach plate
holder on the GPS (only) at approach.
