Well did over 2 hours of circuits trying to perfect my landings.
Didnt get one of them right, arghhhh, so frustrating.
Approach was fine each time but can I hell as like get the flare right.
Too soon, too late, you name it I did it and when I did get that bit right, I didnt hold the nose up long enough, luckily Richard, my instructor got me out of bother each time.
Just to end the day nicely, after my final landing, I had to sit and wait on the runway for about £30's of minutes waiting for a Ryanair 737 to taxi to runway and backtrack from the same exit I was waiting for.
Dont know why he didnt use holding point Bravo like everyone else does.
Instructor was shaking his head but who are we to question ATC.
They must have had their reasons, expensive ones for me though.
