Default Re: what's the hardest part of flying

from a cfi...the things my students had problems with

1. "getting" landings ie. just seeing the picture, it takes some time and practice

2. all of the bookwork, for every hour you fly you need at LEAST that studying and learning all that you can in regards to your airplane and the environment you work in

3. flows...knowing what to check and when to check it and in which order it just takes time to memorize

4. not so much the maneuvers but getting into them. When I say "ok, show me slow flight" the student usually doesnt know exactly how to get into it and which power settings to use and when to put in flaps or drop the gear. Same applies for all manuevers.

that is basically it that I have found, some have more difficulties than others but these were pretty universal. You get out of it what you put into it
