New Instructor, New Experiences: Navigating Towards Successful Landings

I have a new instructor again, and I’m hoping that he will stay with me until I pass my checkride. While it can be fun to fly with different people, I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of overlap between exercises, which means I end up flying more hours than necessary. While the experience is valuable and counts towards my total time, I’m eager to progress faster.

Currently, we’re working on finishing up navigation flights and focusing on practicing landings and stabilized approaches. The weather has been great lately, which has made for some enjoyable flying.
