Oi I resemble that remark! What's with this grades of oil you mean there's more than straight 80?

Don't get disheartened we've all been through the "My brains still on the Crosswind leg but my planes on Finals and I can't catch up with it" Blues.
My instructor used many cunning ploys to get me through it. These included Flying a Circuit without looking in the office at all. If he caught me peeking he'd bat me round the head with his knee board. (No mean feat in a Terrorhawk)
It is possible to do this using only visual and audible clues. You know the attitudes. You know the sound of the engine and you can hear the airflow. If I can do it then so can you.
Another thing is if the circuit is really getting to you ask your instructor if you can do some general handling. There's nothing like batting round the sky chasing clouds to remind you why you wanted to do this in the first place.
