Thank you for your ideas folks. Like Uncle Roger says, ARIAS (Always remembered instructor's advice) stick in the memory better than a dry flying manual and this seems a good forum to share them.
I can recommend to low time pilots the Low Level course that is a CPL add on in Australia. Spending an hour at 50 knots below 10' improves skills and confidence greatly- and is mega fun. The whole course is 5 hours, and saves lives.
