I post this 8 minute video with the hopes others can share tips on
what they do to make first time passengers comfortable on their first flight. Comments here or in the video most appreciated. Video starts with me explaining the process from startup, to runup, take off, cruise and landing trying to keep things in "English" Video also includes in-flight reactions from the passenger. Couple of things to note about the passenger. She is not a roller coaster ride and doen't like heights. Because of this, I modified my flying to half standard rate turns whenever possible and a steeper then normal approach to not feel so close to the tree tops on short final. Interestingly enough, the camera doesn't show the "bouncing" but that was due to me putting in flaps and transitioning from 10 knots winds aloft to calm on the ground. Rather then explain "wind-shear", I just blamed it on the smog: We had very, very minimal turbulence, something seasoned GA passengers wouldn't think about but looking at her, she was kinda getting green around the gills. Video also includes intercom and ATC communications with a "sightseeing request" from me to fly over my house. While not her favorite thing she has done in life, she was ok with it. Given a "goal" to go to New Orleans, I think she would go, but to go boring holes in the sky, I don't think I will see her in the right seat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfDNuuakA5o |
