I'm 95% sure I got his meaning, especially since he said he's going to tape up some paper blocking my view straight ahead, he'd do the look out on the next flight so I'd HAVE to lean over to land. Not sure how else to take it.
98 hours in 7 years when I was licensed at 17 and stopped flying because well...students are pretty poor. That's why I also flew about 25 hours in the last year.
Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll talk to the CFI and see where the misunderstanding is.
