Dave the instructor was lovely and went through all the controls and explained everything that was going on and how the instruments worked and got you to make changes. You got to take off and land the aircraft manually. Enjoyable experience as I love flying and have even more respect for pilots when you see how much they have to do in flying an aircraft.
