   * Adverse yaw, so rudder the direction you want to turn.  Once established, rudder out.  Don't be bashful with the rudder.
   * Always work the trim.  There should be no pressure on the stick.

+  * 500 feet per minute descent.  Be at pattern altitude when you enter it.
+  * Do the simulator every day.  CFI has things for the student to do.
+  * Read the section on adverse yaw.  Understand adverse yaw from day one to be a better pilot
+  * For landing:  Push, Pull, Turn, Trim
+  * Straight in approaches are BAD, have had two mid air collisions right at the intersection of base / straight in.
+  * After touchdown, hold the yoke all the way back and tap the breaks.  Keep the elevator pulled back to add drag and help slow the plane down aerodynamically.
+  * Never read a checklist while taxiing.
+  * Flow pattern to clean up:  flaps up, back to taxi, lean mixture one inch, carb heat in, landing lights off, reset trim.  1,2,3,4,5:  1) flaps up 2) mixture lean 1 inch 3) carb heat off 4) landing lights off 5) reset trim
