Very normal and typical experience you're having. I've only recently
become confident and more comfortable in my abilities. I've only got about 130 hours, but I made a lot of effort to build my confidence by flying lots of cross countries, taking an aerobatics course, dealing with complex airspace, night flying, and flying in less than perfect wx days. Like Dudley said, I still feel an "edge" starting from when I get close to the airport on the drive down until I start the engine. It helps me concentrate on what needs to be done and makes me take things seriously. But I'm also far more relaxed and at ease now than I was even a couple of months ago. The worst thing you can do is after your checkride is once a month flyiing or just sticking around the local practice area. The more experience you get, the more comfortable you will be. |
