Can't quite get it right!
I have spent most of my life round airfields being fascinated by aviation. I came across this site last year and I have made a few contributions, mostly in to the medical forum, as this is my area of expertise ! I finally decided to take the plunge in the spring of this year, and commenced flying training. I can honestly say that I have never done anything so challenging/exhilerating/exciting but sometimes so bloody frustrating, in my life! I have notched up about 20 hours in a C172 so far. My progress has been slow and steady so far, but I seem to have reached a "block" which I am finding difficult to overcome. My intructor seems to think that my problems stem from a lack of co-ordination, which appears to be manifesting itself in innacurate flying and poor (bumpy!) landings. For the first time last week I felt quite low about the situation, but for what I lack in skills, I will make up for with detrmination. Am I being unrealistic at this fairly early stage in my training, or should I be expecting more from myself? Your comments would be appreciated!
