Flying pure visual approaches: The "box pattern" turns into an ovoid. Straight ins with no vertical guidance, the guys aren't sure when to leave pattern altitude, or what rate to descend.

On non-precision approaches: The don't mentally plan a VDP. We break out eight miles from the runway at 600 AGL, and you really want to start your decent here? Or, the missed approach point is the runway threshold, 2/10ths of a mile out the clouds part, and he wants to dive for the runway.

About half the time we get non-standard holding instructions they cannot figure out where we are supposed to be of how to enter (usually they invert it). I know it can be confusing (that is why I still draw it out on paper), but that is basic IFR.

In the round out or flair or whatever is the current term for the last 20 seconds before touchdown. They never learn to be smooth. Winds calm, speed is good, power coming back, and they are sawing away on the yoke like a logger. The plane never rolls, but his hands and the ailerons are goin' like a bat outa Hades.
