Success in achieving a CPL/IR starts many months before during the first 20 hours of flying.
A talented student with a competent instructor will learn the ability to select the appropriate attitudes & TRIM.
HOLD ( the attitude )
TRIM ( when you start to reach the ‘neutral point’ begin to relax your grip, so that only finger and thumb are in contact with the cc. You will ‘feel’ any excess pressure. Small trim movement to remove this final pressure )
CHECK ( remove your hand completely for a second or so. is the attitude STABLE?)
ADJUST ( fine tuning if required )
Achieve this basic, but fundamental skill, and the training will be straightforward.
Quite simply LOW workload ( not having to constantly fight to control the ac ) results in HIGH situational awareness & increased mental capacity.
INABILITY TO SELECT AN ATTITUDE & TRIM WILL INHIBIT PROGRESS
