An important factor is age.
Indeed it is!! Whatever it is we were talking about in the first instance......
Now then, where did I put my glasses? ....................
All depends on how much your no doubt low hour instructor hogs the sticks!
Now my memory is coming back. I recall several stories of students, and experienced the same myself as a student. One chap said that his instructor was always on the controls and related a story about what went on during an engine off landing practise. The student was meant to be flying the helicopter, but relaxed his own grip on the controls and followed-through instead as he could feel his instructor "leading the way".
On completion of a very good landing, the instructor looked at him and said "That was very good. Well done!"
The mind boggles.........
