Exactly that! I recall clearly going on my second or third hovering session. They were going ok but not as well as I’d have liked. We hover taxied to the practice area but were told to hold short of the active runway. I was looking for the traffic and after a while the instructor piped up and said “do you realise you are in a rock steady hover?” And that was that!
