I did it
I know it is not much, but today I took my first flight school lesson. I flew for 1.5 hours. Learned preflight, taxi, coordinated turns, climbs, descents, and straight and level flight.
It was fun. The instructor said I did better than most people do on their first lesson. I, on the other hand, failed to meet my own expectations. http://forums.rgvsports.com/ubb/frown.gif I did not fly as well as I know I can . . . I guess because I have not flown at all in about a year (my friend id a pilot . . . he let me fly sometimes) Hopefully on Monday I will do better. |
Don't worry about it. If your instructor thought you did well, trust him/her. Probably have seen enough students to recognize it. High personal expectations are good for your motivation, but if they are too high, they'll leave you frustrated and unable to learn. Happy flying.

I did my second flight today. Pulled my first g's. It was fun. I practiced steep turns, climb, and descemts. Did my preflight by myself for the first time. It was a snap. Friday I do slow speed and stalls. :D Keep up the enthusiasm, and before you know it you'll be a CFI gettin ready for the regionals..... |

:D :p I was supposed to go out on Friday, but we kind of had a typhoon blow through (3 feet of water in 2-4 hours in some places with gusts up to 50mph). So that got cancelled. I think I am going up tomorrow.

What plane are you training in? The instructor says I am one of the best he has trained, and says I should be ready for solo in a few more hours. |

After doing this for over 25 years, I still learn something new every flight. I suppose as I get a bit older, I'll be relearning the things I've forgotten! Haha.:eek: |
Great Job....
I hope I do as well as you when the time comes. I'm still fighting for my medical, I refuse to start with out it. |
