Thumbs up

Thanks, all. Some good advice there.

I was having a think through what is going wrong last night, and I think my problem is just that I don't really 'get it' yet. I've got everything else that I've done so far clear in my mind, so that if I want to climb at 80kt, for example, then I know what's supposed to be happening. Landings are a bit harder. It's the transition from glide with flaps (and a bit of power when required) to flying just above the runway that is tripping me up. Bit more thought required.

I'm not really that worried. Like I said, i've only had 7 or 8 lessons and we've not formally worked on landing, so it's not like I keep buggering it up and it's stopping me from going solo. I think that taking a bunch of lessons one week is certainly the way to go, although I'll wait a couple of lessons until we're really working on circuits. Got Air Law to do, too. And a PhD Thesis

(Edited for shocking grammer. And spelling)
