That’s how i do it Gordy! Usually get the student to fly circuits and transition to a slow hover taxi for a 100m or so then transition to another circuit, then repeat! Slowing it down on each circuit, I find it counter productive if you just go out and do hovering for 30min - 1hr. I try not to dwell on hovering too much as the student can end up
over thinking it.
As all the others say, it’s like riding a bike, one day it’ll just ”click” and you’ll think, why couldn’t I do this yesterday! I still remember my first day of actual hovering.
Good luck!
