Hello,
I recently began taking lessons to become a pilot down in South Louisiana (being instructed by Charlie Hammonds at HUM for those familiar with the area). Its going pretty well, and I love every minute of it. I am up to about 7 hours now and have been having trouble with keeping the airplane on course and level. I tend to over control, causing a lot of up and down and side to side movement as I try to correct to the proper heading or altitude. The problem became more noticeable when we began practicing approaches for landing today. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips as far as holding headings and altitudes and making corrections more smoothly (maybe something I can do between lessons).
Thank you for your help.
