I was very pleased to get a phone call on friday afternoon to say there was a lesson available on Saturday morning. As it was 5 weeks since the last lesson (of 5 to date) the instructor said we had better going over the previous exercise "straight and level at different speeds/flap settingsm with constant heading". Not a problem I thought as the last lesson went really well.........................it was a shambles I ended up chasing myself the whole time.
However hopefully some good came of it as the instructor is going to see if he can get me a lesson every weekend immediately after Xmas. Hopefully with some continuity I will start to make some progress. I can't believe how hopeless I was - I took 5 lessons to pass my car test and breezed through my motorbike test as well but this seems a lot more difficult or maybe the passage of time isnt helping. I have revised my aspirations and will be happy if at soem point I can at least land a plane on my own.
Despite this even Saturday was fun. Have a good week all.
