Altitude Accuracy
I've done about 25hrs of hour building so far and I'm trying to keep things as tight as possible to prevent slipping into slack habits. I know for the CPL you need to maintain altitude to +/- 100', though I'm frequently changing by 200'. I'm generally pretty good at getting everything in trim and I think this problem is mostly due to thermals and low level turbulence as most flying has been in 2000-3000 ft band. The problems are on flights in the early afternoon - generally everything is ok say in an evening or at higher altitudes. I feel to control any better I'd start continually looking at the instruments which I don't really want to do. Am I being too hard on myself, is it a case of quick scans of instruments or is it a feel you build up over time to naturally counteract turbulent changes of altitude? Thanks.
