Teaching "work cycle"
I recently took over a PPL student who has already about to enter navigation stage. Due to him not flying for over 3 months and new to me, I did some general handling flights just to refresh.
His handling is good. However, when during debrief I asked "what do you do while flying straight & level", he's not sure. But he maintained heading, altitude, wings level perfectly.
I asked about the work cycle "Attitude, Lookout, Instruments", he's forgotten it.
Next time flying straight & level, I asked him to consciously do the work cycle "Attitude, Lookout, Instruments", his flying was not as good because he was consciously doing 'more work'.
Should I break his bad habit of not knowing what his doing (but flying perfectly - out of luck maybe?) & to make sure he does the "work cycle"?
