New Instructor - Teaching Landings
Am a recently qualified gliding instructor.. and have a question to ask.
at what point did most of you become "happy" teaching students to land?
the reason i ask this is that currently i feel that perhaps i take control a bit too much in this rather delicate stage of flight, and hence students are not learning as quickly as they could.
i feel the problem is that i am still very concious of " breaking " the a/c. i know this is quite an exageration but when you are used to doing smooth landings every time it is difficult to let someone land it somewhat harder than you...
am i alone in this problem, is it something that most new instructors have.. any experiences.
i have now "chilled out" in the air and let my students go wrong for them to gain a useful lesson, ( obviously not endangering the aircraft) . .does this happen for landing!
any opinions or tips greatly appreciated.
