When I conduct this test I am not really looking at how well you fly, but if you have weak areas, it flags up topics we may need to concentrate on during the course. I am looking for capacity - i.e. is your flying taking up so much of your concentration that you do not have the spare capacity to hold a conversation with your passenger (i.e. the student) whilst navigating and talking on the radio...your flying should be natural and relaxed so that you have time to teach. I am also listening to you to gauge your ability to communicate so if you waffle and blabber on rather that may mean my work is cut out!
