Just a quick update to thank everyone again. My wrist healed and I got back to flying in mid January but with a new instructor. And gosh, they are like night and day. I really like the old instructor personally, but the new one gives a hell of a lot more 'instruction'. My old instructor's idea...

At the time, we'd done about 5 hours in the training area and about 17 in the pattern. Perhaps you're right that I didn't have full control over all aspects. I understand what everyone is saying about speed, but my CFI simply won't allow me to fly below 60 knots on final. This is the SOP at my...

Yeah, they both used full flaps on every landing.

I've read through all the replies and watched the Youtube videos posted and several more. I've already taken some of the advice above. I've flown with two other students at the school who already have PPLs focusing on how they land and the orientation of the plane to the runway. It was...

Thanks for all of the replies. I am trying my best not to be discouraged, but I am learning with a friend who is powering ahead of me and I can't help but compare. I know it's foolish to do so! I'm learning to fly on a rather unusual aircraft, the Tecnam P2002. It handles quite well, but is...
