ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Analyze and correct common errors related to this Task.

Bottom line

The most common error made by the beginner pilot is to make pitch or bank corrections while still looking inside. It is common for beginner pilots to fixate on the flight instruments, and a conscious effort is required by them to return to outside visual references. After a correction, the airplane's attitude and performance are rechecked by referring to flight instruments, and the pilot maintains the corrected attitude by reference to the natural horizon.
