RE-INVENTION

Not because im any sort of expert but because in xxxxxxxxxx im required to train very low hours young pilots to heavy jet type rating first in the SIM followed by base training PPCs (yes a full PPC in a real a/c to obtain the initial type rating) ive had to re-invent myself as an instructor and first deconstruct in my head how to fly visual one engine and two circuits, touch and goes, and go-arounds etc IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER.Focusing on a steady V/S coupled with keeping the aim point in the correct position works very well for landings in the SIM but things are much harder in the real world with all the thermals, wind effects etc.Bottom line- keep it simple, and dont over-analyse. Its a visual exercise FFS.
