One of the big things I like about the instructor I have is when I'm having trouble doing something....

I had problems transitioning my sight picture from in fight where I did fine, to lining up the runway. I could fly just fine, and land just fine once I got lined up with the runway but had trouble going from watching "all air" to "air/ground".

He flew his plane awhile with me in the pilots box while he was doing touch and goes so I could get the "picture" in my mind of what a good approach looked like without worrying about flying the plane.

Plus he doesn't do 3-D manauvers a lot and other wild aerobatics so him flying touch and goes is what he does a lot of anyway.

So he got some flight time in and I got to get some instruction at the same time.
