I think this topic brings up another good point. Start practicing VFR
landings using non-standard approaches. I find a nice, out of the way
airport, with no traffic and practice right traffic, straight in, close
downwind, 180 turns to final,etc.... I also had a problem with
getting in the Downwind, base, final rut and needed to get some
practice doing funny approaches. Many VOR IAP do not line you up for
the runway.
This practice has actually helped me to land the airplane on nice days
as well as during IMC.
