Redhill Circuits.

Can anyone give me some good advice?

I've got about 1 hour left of my 4 hour circuit session for my PPL and I always seem a bit high. I can't really get the PAPIS to line up, with the white lights usually showing and I think that it's mainly a result of flying in the winter with the higher/gustier winds that has "encouraged" me to fly in a bit higher and faster.

I understand that you should be able to take your hands off the controls (I haven't bothered as such) for about 5 seconds without making any adjustments but I find that on final, I'm usually adjusting the power 2 - 3 times before I'm happy.

Does it really matter at this stage? Or is it something that you get better at with more practice?

Cheers All.
