Whether it’s a result of faulty instruction or an accumulation of bad habits over time, I often see pilots who come in for a Flight Review or Instrument Proficiency Check who exhibit habits that either make no sense or worse yet, contribute to poor piloting technique. Being able to recognize these mistakes and correct them is often difficult especially without someone looking over your shoulder. Sometimes critical thinking after a flight is the best way to figure out if what you did was correct. Take that time and look for improvements from each and every flight.
Uh, What Happened?
