I'm with you A172!!
On one of my first circuit sessions I remember I was on final and the instructor said to me "well look at that, your already doing crosswind technique and I haven't even briefed you yet". I was thinking, what the hell is he talkign about? To me I was just unhappy that the nose pointing off to the side so I lined it up with the centreline, then was even more fired up as that C152 started drifting off to the other side, better use some aileron. Once I had the crosswind brief and started thinking about it, the landings have never been the same. Thats my story why my landings are so bad and I'm sticking to it
