100%. I own the failure, it's all on me. Hopefully I can figure it out before the 60-day window to pass.
Attitude is a huge part of it—generally you can tell if there is still hope based on how they handle a failure. You’re not blaming the DPE or putting it on the winds (which is a tempting excuse for power off 180s—ask me how I know) which shows a healthy mindset. I’m sure you’ll nail it the second time around! :)
I really am not blaming anyone but myself. Maybe a touch of weather, but honestly I still was in the seat, I made the decisions the way I did. I think some of what my problem has been is feeling it and not having a really strong method. The next few times I'm going to find a method. Let's say for 0-10 knots, x seconds....10-15 knots, y seconds, and 15+ z seconds from point to base turn. And then reevaluate. If I'm high, I slip. If I'm low, I turn straight for the numbers.
