ups.com... I have flown for a couple of years on and off . I am to the point in my training that I have completed several local xc solo flights. I am getting ready to complete my solo xc"s and go for my checkride. But my problem is that it is very hard for me to just drive out to the airport that is only 2 mile from my office, get in my plane and go flying. It just doen't feel right.......... I am just a little uneasy or I don't know what, luckily I have a great instructor " First Officer Roy Madewell" of Sacramento, CA who has all of the confidence in me and is very patient. He has directed me to this internet group for possibly someone with the same problem. Thanks for any input. D00d, you say you've been dinking around for a couple year at this... So, it doesn't sound like you get out real regular. So, each time you get to the airport, it's still pretty new - at least in the sense that you haven't really settled in. You might try and arrange to fly a few days in a row if possible to help get in the groove. Another thing is, I bet you have been real focused on getting the rating when you do fly- it's been a while since you started - are you getting "get-there-ites"? Take some time out for some fun flying. Forget about hours, checkrides, blah, blah, blah. Got a buddy with a ticket you can split the cost with? Go somewhere just for the fun of it? Got a buddy with a taildragger? Anywhere arund you can get some dual in a Citabria or something like that? Just for the fun of it? Good luck! -- Geoff the sea hawk at wow way d0t com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail Spell checking is left as an excercise for the reader. |
