Help Please - Landing Process Breakdown

Maybe try taking some pictures of the cockpit of the 152 (or download some from the web) and become familiar with the location / use of each control. (switch, level, knob, selector etc). A copy of the Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) should assist you with this process, anything you don't understand make a note and ask your instructor. Also get a copy of the written procedures and checklist used by your school. Learn them and practice them using your "virtual cockpit" made up of the pics of the cockpit. Being more comfortable in the aircraft by learning the operating procedures will leave you with more brain space to learn the flying skills. Most of all enjoy the learning experience, these will some of the most memorable in your flying career!
