Storms on all sides, I never got any bad weather right over the airport in more than 2 hours of flying OK WKF around Sazena airport (LKSZ) today.

I finally got my landings down, approaches good, and passed all the landing correction exercises, which I found a lot of fun -- too high approach, too low approach, corrections in the flare, also, surprise, flaps don't work (instructor took out the fuse), surprise, engine dies ascending to circuit altitude (instructor turned off power), and one bizarre approach to the runway outside the pattern.

I have to focus all my concentration on landings; when I'm not under pressure I have to make myself concentrate, and then I can do it fine, when I'm under pressure it all just comes together naturally somehow (most of the time).
