Fly, that sounds very similar to my pattern! Except that the bits I have trouble with are the bits which aren't in the book - my instructor warned me that Trevor Thom isn't too good for the IMC, and she was right.
I had another two lessons this weekend. First lesson was a couple of ILSs at Farborough. The main thing to concentrate on wasn't the ILS itself (which I seem to be getting the hang of fairly quickly) but the radar vectoring - although I'm capable of following instructions from ATC, I had found it difficult to follow where I'm being taken when I'm being vectored.
Well, I think my instructor had been on the phone to the controller, because he (the controller) tried his best to confuse me for the first one! Told me that he'd be taking me to the west of the field due to gliding at Lasham, then proceeded to vector me to the east! Anyway, I was on the ball and figured out what was going on, which I was pretty pleased with. After the go-around, we were vectored in for another approach, and again I had a good idea of where we were the whole time. After that, it was time to head home, trying to maintain enough situational awareness to not fly through the Blackbushe ATZ, which I also managed. A successful flight!
The next lesson was all completely unprepared. Instructor told me to take off then head for Compton, and she'd give me further instructions after that. Well, I ruined her first plan by guessing where she was going to send me(!) so she had to re-plan, and we ended up back at Farnborough again! This time the radar vectors took me right over the top of some restricted areas, so situational awareness was very important. The air was getting pretty bumpy, and the ILS was, well, difficult - but I managed to keep it within limits, so I was happy, and my instructor seemed happy too. We decided to recap some other bits - partial panel, NDB tracking, unusual attitudes - which also went well, and then headed home.
Only a few more hours to go, and it really is starting to come together now. Won't be too long before I'm posting looking for safety pilots! Although I already have a few willing volunteers, so it may be a little while before I have to post...
Safe flying,
FFF
