On your issue; I'd mention your nervousness to the instructor before you
fly again. One thing that might help you is to remember what I've said
here in this answer as you walk out to the airplane. It's THIS
relationship you want with your own instructor. If this one isn't giving
it to you, get one who does.
At least for the foreseeable future I've decided to put my lessons on
hold. After 5 days I'm still pretty rattled by the whole experience
and I simply no longer look forward to it as I did before the
discovery flight. I think I'm probably wound too tight, not
necessarily to take the lessons and get the license, but for the
inevitable emergency that will at some point take place while I'm in
the cockpit.
A good instructor will give you the skills and confidence in your
skills to handle such situations and it takes time to get there.
You didn't have a good instructor by a long shot, nor from your
description, one I would ever care to fly with.
Bitterly disappointed really, I plan on getting some help for the
bigger issue which is my nervousness and fear.
The reason for those is you had an asshole on the discovery flight.
Might I suggest giving it a week or so to get over the experience,
then go somewhere else and tell them up front you want to fly, you
took a discovery flight, and the guy scared the **** out of you.
Tell them exactly what he did to scare you and why you were scared.
Thanks all for your suggestions, I just don't think this is for me
anymore.
It is your choice, but you're letting one asshole direct your life.
