Yes, he surprised me by asking for an early base leg for a mid field landing.
I turned final before getting properly aligned. He told me to get lined up with centerline immediately to which I replied getting there. I didn't make any abrupt movements and maintained speed. She was heading right where I wanted her to be.
My instructed was quiet as we touched down, then said good job. Then we discussed coordinated turns.


A 2-32 can be a cruel mistress, she can turn on you when you least
expect it. Down that low, you shouldn't be doing any turns, coordinated
or otherwise. If you're lined up properly, you're not trying to turn
and flair at the same time.

Anyway, congratulations on making it this far and hopefully we can all
be getting more stick time shortly.
