Default Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC

Landings are waaaay too easy. A poor landing in reality is a lot more
exciting than the MSFS models.


No ****.

I have about 150 hours in MSFS and 10 hours
and 5 or 6 landings in a real plane. *Nothing*
in FS prepares you for the instructor shouting..

"Steer with your feet"
"You're flaring 20 feet too high"
"Steer with your feet"
"Hold the nose up"
"Steer with your feet"
"Watch your speed"

As the ground rushes up towards you at 60 knots
and the feeling that you're just about to
literally drag your ass down the runway.

I wonder if Max could even handle the
degree of psychological battering it takes
to become a good real-world pilot.
