I found, starting with my solo, that assuming more responsibility for
the aircraft and the flight is a training aid in itself. Another was the
first time I 'shushed' my instructor when I was trying to fly a
maneuver. You learn how to function on your own, and begin to take
command. In my experience, this is the point where everything begins to
come together.
