Tips: You will find that aerotowing is easier than it is in Condor. US tow ropes are longer and the rudder is very effective in towing turns. Also, get in the habit of looking to the direction you are going to turn BEFORE you turn to be sure the area is clear. In Condor, the (imaginary) back seat instructor does not whack you on the head. In real life, he might! As someone said, take charge of your instruction. Keep a log of your training and skills. Share this with your instructor before each days flying so you spend your (costly) training time to best advantage. Take a look at several training syllabuses available on the web. Pick one you like and try to get your instructor(s) to follow it (unless they have one). Many do not.

I'm curious- are you a CFI?
The pilot log book and associated check off lists are a record of the required training. Assuming a student is not flying with a new instructor all the time, there should not be much of a need for the student to brief the instructor on what he has accomplished.
