Narrative

BEGAN GND SCHOOL TRAINING 1975; PVT PLT TRAINING 1976. EARNED PVT PLT LICENSE JUL/98. IN 20 YRS; THE WORST LNDGS OCCURRED DURING INSTRUCTION WITH INSTRUCTOR PLT; MR X. ACCIDENT OCCURRED DURING WINGS PROGRAM TRAINING. HAD FLOWN SOLO XCOUNTRY; SEP/XA/98; C18 (2 LNDGS) TO DPA (1 LNDG; RWY 28) TO DKB (1 LNDG) TO C18 (2 LNDGS; 1 SIMULATED ENG FAILURE ON DOWNWIND). ALL LNDGS WERE ON CTRLINE WITHIN 200 FT OF NUMBERS/THRESHOLD. STALL WARNING ON FIRST LNDG WITH MR X WAS AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY. RECEIVED NUMEROUS DISTRS; SUGGESTIONS DURING REMAINING LNDGS. COCKPIT DISTRS HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON MYSELF (INCLUDED IN MY CHKLIST IS A STERILE COCKPIT REQUIREMENT DURING TKOF AND LNDGS). MR X'S DISTRS WERE SO MUCH THAT TWR INSTRUCTIONS WERE MISSED ON LNDG #3. THE LESSON WAS CANCELED EARLY DUE TO MR X MISREADING HIS DIGITAL WATCH. I SHOULD HAVE CANCELED THE LESSON. MR X IS NOT THE INSTRUCTOR FOR MY IFR TRAINING. ENG WAS RESTARTED AND TAXIED BACK FOR ADDITIONAL WORK; FINAL LNDG WAS INITIALLY ON VASI; THEN SLIGHTLY LOW. PWR WAS ADDED. FLARE WAS SLIGHTLY HIGH; BOUNCING ON CONTACT. PWR WAS ADDED AND THE PLANE LANDED. THIS LESSON WAS A DECISION POINT TO CONTINUE WITH MR X AS A STUDENT. PREVIOUS WINGS PROGRAM LESSONS WERE NOT SATISFACTORY. I WILL NOT WASTE TIME AND MONEY IN THE FUTURE WITH UNACCEPTABLE CFI'S.
