Thanks for the response, and yes I have changed flight school. I really feel that I wasted so much time and money at the older one. I changed from a 141 to a 61 school and the instructors are so much nicer (they actually care about the students here) and the planes are much better. At this school I can ask any instructor a question without being told "why the [f-word] should I answer you?" which actually did happen at the other school.

The one down side to this school is that we don't have frascas available, so I have been trying to do whatever I can in the Microsoft simulator with a vacuum failure. I have noticed that my compass turns and my holding pattern entries have become horrible since I was at the 141 school, but I think two years away from instrument flying will do that to you.

I don't think my scan is my problem, though. I do very well until we do partial panel. I was thinking about making flash cards to help familiarize myself with the compass errors again. By this I mean, -30 for 360, -20 for 030, -10 for 060, 0 for 090...+30 for 180 etc. These are for my latitude though, I do know that depending on your location these can change.
