Congratulations on getting your ticket.

How do you feel about airspeed indication now? A useful exercise is to
get an instructor, put paper over the ASI, and fly the pattern a few
times so that you can takeoff and land without reference to airspeed,
just attitude by looking out the window and feeling the yoke.


Don't CFIs already do that during PP training? Mine sure did. As a matter of
fact I had to land 2 or three times prior to my check ride with the entire
6-pack covered. I know it was not part of the standards but every pilot that
trained where I was training did it or didn't get signed off for the check
ride.
