Hi all,
I recently had my first lesson. It was in fact just a 30 minute trial lesson but my instructor was very good and willing to let me have a go. He let me do all the usual stuff like banking left and right, he even let me turn 90 degree's onto the final approach and while he did the throttle I controlled it all the way to the tarmac as I remember - ok maybe he took over just befor we touched down but it was certainly the best 50 quid I've spent on 30 minutes ever. He even took the plane to so many G - I can't remember how many but my head certainly felt alot heavier for it - is that normal to do something like that on a first lesson?
As for whether you should be allowed to land so soon - it can only be good for confidence surely. I mean if you do it then well done but if you don't then you've got a good excuse - 'well its only my first/second lesson'.
