Hi

The instructor who taught me to land a Tiger Moth said let's go and have a cup of tea and I will explain to you exactly how to go about the approach and landing phases for three pointing it and wheeling it on.
We then went out to the aircraft and I followed his instructors with a little cajoling and it worked and his instruction has stood me in good stead ever since.
He did have over 10,000 hours instructional time but it perhaps illustrates the point that you learn how to do it on the ground and then demonstrate what you have learnt in the air.
