The secret of flying a PFL is to assess and maintain the correct angle to the field. Forget about all the other things you have to do, just learn to fly the pattern. The aircraft needs to be in trim, then you can relax and it flies itself. You need to be shown the correct angles and how to establish them, then simply sit back and watch the aiming point, if the angle steepens, turn away, if it shallows turn towards. Remember you have to take the aircraft to the field, it won't come to you.
