I went through the lessons in the 152, and was met with some frustration in the process of the lessons involving landing solo. I’m not new to aviation, been involved in EAA for more than 15 years, so while not a pilot, I kind of know my way around the airport, and have been in the right seat many times, and even the left seat on a number of occasions.
Upon landing on the runway, then turning onto a taxiway, I kept being met with the message that I wasn’t supposed to land there. I don’t know what I did that was different that allowed me to finally get past the lessons successfully, but my landings were good.
I had this happen to me, but I just landed, waited on the runway while she did her talking and THEN taxied off. Just sit tight on the active and it’ll progress. 'Least it did for me.
Same thing happened to me on Lesson 6, tried it a few times and it always happened. Landed and then the instructor says I was not supposed to land there.
For me, I got that ‘not supposed to land there’ when I missed one of the previous checkpoints. Redoing it and making sure to get the legs registered (on the circuit) made it work.
Yep, the checkpoints are really stingy. Make sure you hit them before continuing the traffic pattern. Tutorial #6 is really tough because the waypoints for each checkpoints are turned off
THIS is the answer! I was having no end of trouble with at least half a dozen redo’s. It kept saying I was not supposed to land “there”. I confirmed the runway markings then I just started landing further down the runway and shorter. I think THERE means ‘not at this time’ due to one of the checkpoints being missed along the way. Usually I suspect because I would start the timer when the instructor said but BEFORE it appeared on the list. Meaning the ‘start timer’ process was considered missed. I also suspect 1 or 2 times it was due to missing one of the pattern turns. I knew I was good when she said “reduce power to idle and let’s get it on the ground” (or something similar)
The secret is definitely to ensure EVERY task is achieved. Though ‘follow the highway’ did not seem essential to check off. All of which was annoying since i didn’t actually learn anything I didn’t already know and do
