I normally wouldn’t make a post for such a short lesson, but my most recent flight was the greatest success I’ve had in the airplane to-date! Obtaining another 1.2 hours allowed me time to almost perfect steep turns and slow flight; at this point, I’d say I need a bit more work on slow flights but steep turns only need some fine-tuning.
As soon as I completed my first set of steep turns, I found myself shaking from pure adrenaline - the first time panic and anxiety didn’t come crashing over me! My instructor asked if I wanted to try them again or move onto another maneuver and my response was, “since I hate them so much, I’ll do them again.”
-And that perfectly describes my journey in aviation: I find myself constantly intimidated by being in the Cessna and crave putting my lessons off, I just refuse to cower from fear. The reward could not be better!
I intentionally didn’t bring my camera because I knew the lesson would be on the shorter side but enjoy this clip from my new favorite app, Flight Aware.
