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...

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...
