Student piloting
Hi, I've been struggling with landings. I've noted my problem arises on final. I tend to end up in a "Dutch roll" or oscillating as I'm trying to counter this. I feel it gets worse and throws off my landings. The feedback I've been given from my CFI is to not input rudders, although I'm not. It feels like a gust blows me off course on final, and I attempt to get back aligned. When doing so, the oscillation starts, but then the additional feedback from my instructor is I'm over-controlling the aircraft (which I agree) but no feedback on how to not over-control and how to control a straight-in approach on final when I get blown off course. I've logged 25 hours and am just about to solo. Any real advice is appreciated. Should I start looking for a new CFI as I feel I'm just wasting hours with no real improvement, and I fear there's a learning/teaching error? As I continue doing the same thing on every final and attempting the same thing over and over with no real changes or improvements, it is going to keep me in this loop of wasting money. Note these are also on "calm wind" days where my CFI says the wind is irrelevant as it's to low to blow me around although that's what I am feeling on final or like riding over a speed bump or two while on final or base in pattern.
