First Air Lesson

You will find that your idea of "really rough" will change quite a bit over the next few years.

I reckon so...

Lesson 2 v. Lesson 1A

Well today was better, no radio love going on. We worked on trimming the plane and holding alt. and heading. Then we worked on holding slow speed heading and alt. Then we did a tiny bit of power on stalls and power off stalls . . . . Then we also did some work on slow speed with full flaps. ATC kept moving us around alot. I also worked on doing radio calls.

This flight really should have been what you had on Wednesday.

I usually defend instructors when students gripe, but your first flight on Wednesday was inexcusable. Keep us updated.

I agree with Bobby. I would shop for a new instructor. There is never a second chance to make a first impression. Don't worry about offending her, she should have known better. Most schools have weather mimimums that they have to abide by. I'd check that out

Wow I found this old post of mine that I forgot about. Here is a long over due update.

Well its been a long time since my first flight. I dont know what happened on that first flight, but she turned out to be the coolest and best CFI I could have hoped for. I ended up logging about 95 hours dual with her alot of it from going on a lot of unnecessary cross countries just to go get dinner or a weekend trip. I'm just learning to fly for the fun of it so I wasnt in any hurry to get my certificate, just as long as I was having fun. I'm just glad I didnt give up on her after that first leason because I ended up having a blast.

She moved on to Airnet about 4 months ago now, and lessons just arent fun anymore. But that might have to do with the fact that she was a 22 year old hot female and now I have a 23 year old male!

With that much dual did you get your private certificate? If not, did you at least get a kiss, cause you sure got f@cked!

 

[garf12]

I had so much dual cause like every weekend we would fly off on a trip, or go get dinner somewhere friday night.

I did get my PPL before she left though.

Congrats on your PPL. Welcome to the club.

Congratulations on getting your ticket! As long as you didn't mind paying for 95 hours of dual, I don't mind. But, I'd submit that if you were earning your ticket for more serious reasons you would have minded.

 

[garf12]

Well alot of the time I just paid for the plane not for dual, worked out good for me. And heck yeah if I was planning on making this a job I would have been out of there at 40 hours.

Second this.



Come on man, you should have AT LEAST 1.0/hrs logged in the mile high log book.
Don't give us none of this "we were just good friends" crap.


I know your itching to tell. And we want details!!!
