yea my instructor is my dad, he has already had 2 heart problems, I really dont want to be the cause of his third. He is a good instructor but I am his first student in 30 years, he now works for a federal agency that we all love. lol It governs aviation. But he is so used to airline guys and other very experienced pilots that it is kinda hard for him to relate all the time. X-wind landings are really the only thing that give me a huge challenge. I will really be thinking of these tips the next time I go up!! I will let you know how it all worked out.
