Working on PPL XC requirements this week
Cross country planing… you love it or you hate it
Keep up the hard work, student pilots, you are getting there!

Little discussion on VRS and how distractions can lead you to getting slow

Picking up from a slope landing
Discussing technique and wind direction
Auto entry and glide

This will help you understand the entry, how to control airspeed, rotor RPM and picking a landing spot.
Once you feel confident then you will continue with autos to a flare.
