Since yesterday I'm a bit more confident about my piloting.
Now I know I can land my plane without instruments and I feel a lot
more safer knowing this.

Each of my students received one full lesson in and out of the
traffic pattern with the entire instrument panel covered with a
piece of paper for the complete lesson. Of course, they had been
taught from the begining to rely on the tachometer and visual
attitude and not the airspeed indicator when landing.

I also find that in our training aircraft you cannot stall on final as
long as the plane is coming down at a noticable rate. I teach my
students to "keep it coming down" rather than keep watching the
airspeed.

No alternate static?

Nope, there are two static ports though.
The shop told me that it has probably something to do with larve.
They had some similar things last week.

Funny to read the other posts.
I was never thaught to do a landing without instruments.
I suppose that it is not required overhere, this being holland.

It's not required here either. But it's a good idea, and many instructors
make sure their students have done it before cutting them loose. It's not
so much that students need to be taught to do it, as it is that they need to
be shown that they already know how to do it.
