it took me about 5-6 flights for my wife to make it over the mountain, the
mountain is like 4500 ft off the end of our runway to the SE, now she has a
few hundred hours under her belt she does good. But the key is for you to
never act nervous and to be in control and to have good answers to any
questions she has for you.

I recently received my license and I am taking my somewhat nervous wife
up for the first time. I am aiming for a clear, reasonably smooth day.
Any suggestions for making this flight as positive as possible for her?

Thanks much,
