As of this afternoon, I finished. I'll give a quick run through below:
Ground, which along with some chatting on other topics included review of airspace types, and a number of other things on the 'what is this' pointing to a sectional. Explain how to recover from a spin. Explain gear system. Weight and balance (which I had already predone, via an excel spreadsheet, with a number of options) with some specific numbers given, and 'take out fuel so we can go, if we can'. Along with that, figure out density altitude at the field given (Mammoth, which is over 7100'MSL) and a nice hot temp, and low pressure, brough DA up over 10000'. Way beyong the limits of an Arrow for takeoff. A few other random ground things I'm sure I'm forgetting about right now.
Flight portion was .9hrs. Soft takeoff, and back to 180 power off precision since that happened to be no one in the pattern. Taxi back short field T.O. Was going to go for another landing, but went from 0 to 5 in the pattern or entering the area. So continue out and climb. Clear area, slow flight, turn. Clearing while turning, so into power on turning stall. Lazy 8s. Chandelle a couple times. Steep spiral. Pick a point and do 8s on pylons. Re-enter pattern for soft field landing. My first, the power off 180 was a pretty darn short on the point landing too, so that combined those I guess, and that was a bit of a x-wind on the landings. Taxi in. Got a "that was all great, I'll see you inside".
Then spent a bit of time taking suggestions for CFI work which is schedule for 3 November right now for the checkride.
