"we're shutting the runway to learning flights today'
Never heard of a field doing that before, that's a pretty BS deal!! why do they do that?
Piperboy, You obviously haven't been to my place then!!
Seriously, Chicgeek, you'll get there, consistency though as I have found, is vital with FI, consistency of trips, FTO and aircraft. I am a Stude too and I do have a problem with the consistency of trips - the great British Wx not helping!
My landings, if its any consolation, are usually of dubious quality and I surprise both of us on the very odd occasion I pull off a greaser (unfortunately, never when solo, and not very often...theres always something i've messed up
) I won't tell you the way i'm taught, as it may be different to you and there are Instructors on here who are worth listning to on that. But i will jsut say that I've found that (not saying you aren't of course!) but from my point of view, patience, when landing an aircraft is a good thing... I speak from experience in landing without much in the early days
