Dick, is there a reason you kept reprimanding this student for talking himself through the procedures? Is this your general guidance or something specific to this student’s needs?

Hi Jim, Thank you for your question. This was not so much of a reprimand as it was a reminder. We had already discussed the idea that good listening means not talking to yourself in a busy traffic pattern. I believe this is a good habit to have. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
