Tips for landing....
I suspect (and fully accept) that the over-riding response to this question may be - ' practice' !!! But I'm interested in other peoples views. I'm a student pilot - VERY inexperienced as I only have 4 hours !
My question is this - at the end of my last lesson my instructor asked if I wanted to bring us onto base and then final (brave man !). I, of course, jumped at the chance. The turn onto base went OK - as did the turn onto final. At this point though it all got somewhat more tricky. The tip from my instructor was to pick a point on the runway and keep that in the same part of the screen. I was having trouble keeping the *runway* in the screen - let alone a specific part of it ! How do you guys manage to control the aircraft so precisely on approach ? Do you use rudder much more than you would in level flight or do you counter drift primarily using ailerons ?
Any tips gratefully received ! (might prevent another near heart-attack!)
