I used to know someone who did his PPL in his own Cessna Cardinal. The first thing he discovered was that, at certain stages of every flight, a lot happens and needs to be done quite quickly. The faster the aircraft and the more things have to be done, e.g. undercarriage and propeller, the more scope there is for getting into trouble. This chap certainly entertained us with the stories of his misdemeanours which, fortunately for him, were in an age where zone busting was treated more sympathetically. I am sure that, as you continue your training into the solo stages, you will join the rest of us in sometimes wishing there was pause button like on FS while your brain catches up with the aeroplane.
