One person in Command

I have to agree with backpacker.

You CANNOT learn if someone else is on the controls.

I have 400+ hours, including complex and IMC and was joining a club in France. The instructor doing my check ride would not stop "helping" at the last moment by pulling the stick (a DR310), he would then complain about balloning or something else No amount of telling him seemed to work, so I now belong to a different club.

I just fly the plane in line with the runway and kick the plane into line with the ground about 2 seconds before touchdown, add a little into wind aileron to balance and then move it progressivly to full into wind aileron as I roll out. Seems to work but you need to find your own way a little bit.

Have Fun
