How many minutes of slow flight do you have ?
An aircraft travels through the slow flight range at least twice in every flight during take off and landing . Most accidents occur during flight in the slow flight range . Attitude control during slow flight can mean the difference between having a fun flight or not .

Seat height adjustment is also very important , if you are sitting too low . The change of attitudes during landing can confusing . I was told to look at the airspeed indicator during landing and almost crashed looking at the airspeed indicator . Once you look outside the plane in the landing it gets easier .

Time to solo is not that important and sometime I will do some x-country work to another airport for students stuck in a rut , or I should say plateau. A normal phase in the learning curve .
