  decision-making, and good operating practices. A pilot training program depends on the quality of the ground and flight instruction the student pilot receives. The flight instructor must possess a thorough understanding of the learning process, knowledge of the fundamentals ... student pilot. Use of a structured training program and formal course syllabus is crucial for effective and comprehensive flight training. It should be clear to the student in advance of every lesson what the course of training will involve…

  that reason, the pilot should not form the habit of unnecessarily moving the flight controls. The pilot needs to learn to recognize when corrections are necessary and then to make a measured flight control response precisely, smoothly, and accurately. Pilots ... angle from which the pilot is to observe but also causes the pilot to exert unconscious pressure on the flight controls in that direction.

  Transition to Visual Flight One of the most difficult tasks a trained and qualified instrument pilot contends with is the transition from instrument to visual flight prior to landing. For the untrained instrument pilot, these difficulties are magnified. The difficulties ... acclimatization and orientation. On an instrument approach, the trained instrument pilot prepares in advance for the transition to visual flight.

  then hold the wings level with aileron flight control pressure while rudder control pressure is trimmed out. Finally, aileron trim should be adjusted to relieve any aileron flight control pressure. A properly trimmed airplane is an indication of good piloting ... skills. Any control forces that the pilot feels should be a result of deliberate flight control pressure inputs during a planned change in airplane attitude, not a result of forces being applied by the airplane.
