Leasing a model 3 soon, exclusively using FSD. Full glass (no deductible) through my insurance is $3/mo but they use safelite. Other option is Tesla windshield protection for $16/mo.
Is getting an OEM windshield worth the extra $13/mo? Will they give me any issues returning the lease if it is an aftermarket windshield?
I have a new student, but he just can’t hold altitude to save his life. I feel like I’m hitting a wall.
What I have tried:
Emphasized the importance of leveling out with pitch, then power, then trim
Told him to look outside, remember that sight picture
Flown the airplane with only rudders and trim to show the importance of them
Covering up instruments to force him to look outside
Slow flight
I’m conflicted if I should just move on and do other things (slow flight in particular) hoping those help him with fundamentals. But how can I ask him to fly turns around a point at a constant altitude if he can’t do it in a straight line?
We have had about 4-5 lessons so far and while there is progress, I feel like we have not improved significantly the last 2-3 lessons.
Think it’s finally time to move on from pencil and paper. Have a 11” iPad with Apple Pencil.
Technically IFR was at a 141 with self examining authority so it doesn’t show up on my records but it’s not a good look that both were for instrument flying.
First fail I bugged the wrong heading for the missed, resulting in turning the wrong direction for the missed.
CFII fail was going below assigned altitude (from the DPE, not the plate) flying inbound on ILS.
PPL Commercial CFI passed first try
