Yesterday was the sortie called Medium Turns. Straight & Level Medium Turns is by banking the aircraft 30 degrees to the desired direction and apply a little back pressure on the control stick to maintain altitude. It was a little tough during turning because of maintaining the altitude and I was going plus minus 80ft from the given altitude. The instructor comment was "OK" but he said that it's best to maintain the exact altitude.
After that, I had to perform the Climbing Turn and Descending Turn by banking 20 degrees to the desired direction. And oh yeah, I had to maintain the speed of 85kts too and pressing the rudder at the same time. So my eyes were like looking the horizon for 20seconds, then the airspeed indicator and the Turn Coordinator for 3seconds and then to the horizon again and so on.
Turn Coordinator
My taxiing skill still sucks because I sometimes stepped on the brake too much and sometimes I couldn't taxy exactly on the yellow line. Braking too much will result in lesser effectiveness of the brakes.
