I get the impression you've spend a lot of time on some kind of PC-based simulator, and found the reality somewhat different.

This impression was gleaned through your description of VFR.

If this is indeed the case, it's possible you have already managed to start developing a minor bad habit or two, but don't worry, actual flying will break those habits fairly quickly.

As you've discovered, everything looks different from the air. The ability to perceive and register location and orientation of ground objects will gradually improve. Don't worry about this.

Landings are something you'll still occasionally muff after 100 hours. And 500. Don't worry about them at all at this stage.

Try and get the most from each lesson, as it's presented, but above all, have fun.
