Excellent session today. Luke's steep spiral entry and recovery are at ACS standards consistently. Eights on pylons showed good pylon selection judgment — only one redo required for wind correction. Bank angle consistency needs a bit more work at the entry point. Overall very strong performance for this phase. Debrief covered chandelle theory for next session. Pre-flight was thorough and efficient.

Tyler is ready for his first solo cross-country. Route planning was excellent — good density altitude awareness and appropriate fuel reserve calculation. ATC communication was clean throughout. Handled the unexpected TFR routing professionally. Landing at Fort Collins was smooth. Solo XC endorsement signed at end of debrief. Approved for KAPA-KFNL-KCOS-KAPA solo on Apr 3 weather permitting.

Sophia continues to make good progress. 12-knot crosswind component today — struggled initially but showed significant improvement by landing 8. Crabbing technique was better than sideslip today. Need to spend more time on the rudder-to-aileron coordination transition at the flare. Ground track in the pattern is now consistently good. Encouraged her to fly more hours in the sim specifically on crosswind scenarios before our next session.
