What I have actually found, is that Neil generally didn't tell me that I was going to taxi, take off or land.. he just let it happen. I suppose some of this might have been down to the fact that I mentioned to him what I asked you guys about in my opening thread. He must have had some confidence in me from the offset.
I asked him after lesson 2 about this and he explained that he already knew how to take off and land, so there wasn't much point in him doing either. I however, needed to learn, master and become confident in both so it makes more sense for me to do it.
After my last lesson, we discussed what the next lesson (which is tomorrow) will include.. that will be, turning in a climb and turning in a descent plus a brush up of last week, but as he said, I have already done much of both when climbing out and making a turn at 500ft to follow a set course to 1500ft to the training area and also turning onto final so it will be an easy lesson in which we may move onto another exercise.
I do feel that the way he tutors/mentors me, brings me along at a good pace. Don't get me wrong though, he is vey thorough and I feel very dissapointed if I make mistakes (whch I have)
Anyway, must go and sleep in readiness for my lesson tomorrow.
Many thanks
