CFI-A Lesson 19 (Part 3)

The weather today was back to fantastic and an Arrow was available, so the flight was on. We got a late start, but quickly started working the maneuvers on the list. Most went well, but I did have some problems with Chandelles, Lazy Eights, Steep Spirals, and two demonstration stalls. Therefore, I'll need to go demonstrate these again before continuing on to lesson 20.

It seems I'm on a learning plateau when it comes to some maneuvers. It's very difficult for me to keep my hands, feet, mouth, eyes, and brain all working in a coordinated fashion. Something is always missed and the maneuver diverges from the ideal path. It seems all I can do is keep throwing time and money at it and hope it improves. I've done all these maneuvers sufficiently well enough to pass my Commercial check ride, but one difference is that I didn't have to explain them while performing them.
