As a writer, it resonates with me powerfully, especially when it comes to seeing someone else's point of view about my work that's different from mine. "When we hear something that doesn't feel right we search out the truth, we don't disregard because our ego is blocking the path." This is the hardest to achieve, and the most important ability for learning.

So, we could not figure out his problem with landing... so we sat down and asked him how they taught in his country, and it was all broken down. So, we taught 'approach', takign the controls for the roundout and flare. Once that was mastered, we flew approach and he rounded out and we flared... then he approached and rounded out and we flared... then we approached and rounded out and he flared... then he could do it all seemlessly - it was a real lesson in differentiation. <br /><br />Normally my differentiation in teaching is more basic 'can you ride a bike' 'swim' 'drive a car' 'play a musical instrument' etc. Each of those skills has a parallel in learning to fly. For those who have hand-foot co-ordination problems I suggest swimming an exercise (especially since most of my students cant swim anyway!)...<br /><br />Each student is unique, needs nurture appropriate to their nature, patience and above all perseverance - for they are different beasts!!
