"This may be part of the issue...this type of individual is usually very good at organizing and manipulating people. The most important factor in their success is that people THINK they are doing the right things, and they are very adept at giving that impression. It is not so important that they actually DO the right things, as long as everyone thinks they did."

On his third lesson he was very frustrated that he couldn't land the aircraft,,, later he admitted that he thought flying was going to be pretty easy,,, he said it looked pretty easy from the ground.

"Take a towel and cover up the instrument panel, completely. Everything your student needs to know about landing a 172 happens outside the airplane."

Yes I have done this but not with a towel... Again, has anybody had one of these student types earn their ppl?

Thanks!
