Hello-

I was just looking for some advice and suggestions regarding switching
flight schools. *I have about 77 hours in and there are still many
basics that I do not quite have down. *I think its a combination of
feeling nervous and being overly psyched out by my initial instructors
approach to training.

Learning to fly can be a big challenge. I think its made harder
because of the types of personalities that are drawn to learning to
fly. We're generally all high achievers in life and want to be perfect
in everything. I try to keep reminding my students that this needs to
be fun. Don't let the challenges take that away from you, because its
the fun you're paying for and its the fun you'll hopefully remember
into old age.
Switching flight school is normally not a big deal. If the new school
is 141 they may have to do some back tracking to ensure you meet the
syllabus requirements. Also, if you're a foreign student it is a big
deal and you need to get reapproved. A foreign student's approval for
flight training is locked to the flight school he goes to. I'm not
sure why, but that is the way it is.
