There seems to be so much going on at the same time and I find it difficult when I hear the instructor telling me I am making the same mistakes as the last lesson when I thought I had got it all sorted out in my head. I will try to book some extra lessons regards Chas
You seem to be describing about the standard of my flying at 8 hours, and I was 19.
Flying is difficult, beating yourself up and getting anxious about the learning process won't help - try and just relax, enjoy it, and fly at-least twice a week: preferably when you're relaxed and fresh (about 10am I reckon is the perfect time for a flying lesson).
