Question Controlling direction in the flare

Hi,

I'm about three weeks in to circuits on my PPL. The last but one lesson I was making good approaches and some half decent landings. However, my last lesson was terrible. The approach seemed to go ok, but then at the last minute, during the flare, I would drift way off to the left. It was so frustrating .

Does anyone have any advice on how to control the direction or the a/c during the flare? Do I still use both aileron and rudder, or more rudder at this point?

My FI keeps telling me to just continue to fly the plane all the way down on to the runway.

Arrgg, I want to get back up there and sort this out.

Thanks for your advice.

Graham
