Dual cross country: PHKO PHUP PHTO PHMU PHKO
Pilotage and dead reckoning, ground speed estimation, density altitude estimation, plotting headings, VOR navigation, diversion to alternate.

It was a successful first cross country, good job overall. 

Dave began to get frustrated on the diversion to alternate as we neared the airport (PHMU) as things were happening fast (tail wind). I then asked Dave to plot a course from PHMU to PHKO and fly the heading, he was very overwhelmed between that and light chop. I observed that he was attempting to level off without adjusting power or trim and the airplane kept climbing while he was plotting his course. In one instance, he abruptly (below Va) pushed forward on the controls to &quot;level off,&quot; producing a slight negative G effect. I took the controls and explained to him why not to ever do that and to not let frustration get the best of him while flying.
