Larry said: Common? I think not. It seems most develop their proficiency in the solo mode.
I have to agree with Larry and expound: Get ALOT of recency! You need to be on your game like you were the day you passed your PPL, so that the only variables are limited to the KR itself. Recency in type is great but we pilots of KR's have spoken enough about what airplanes fly similar enough to give every pilot enough choices to get good quality experience prior to that first flight. And one word of caution: You guys, and you know who you are, that fly "by the numbers" and are book pilots instead of practical experience pilots, go get some quality time with an older CFI who will show you how to adjust things for wind, temp, altitude, obstacles, etc... Everyone with a KR here has spoken about variations in ASI readings, as compared to both GPS, and other KR's. Learn to "feel" that stall coming on, and recognize the controls becoming sloppy, etc... Go fly a Citabria that has no flaps so you have no choice on a short approach but slip, and still land. Get back to where you would fly into a Level 4 Thunderstorm (figuratively speaking) if given the chance. Then your flying skill is NOT in question on test day, just the plane's...
