Have a read in your book on Human Performance - if you've got it yet - about acquiring skills. Basically, when you start, you're doing a series of separate movements; later on they all become one thing - landing an aircraft. You haven't had time to do that yet, so it seems like there's too much to do. It takes time...sorry, but that's all there is to it.

I was explaining the same thing to a helicopter student of mine at the weekend, who wondered how you could hover when you've got three controls interacting with one another with a lag in all of them. Well, you practise, and one day you just....hover.

One day you'll just...land.
