    Man the end of this video was just what I needed to hear. In the beginning of my training as a new student I was put up in 20-30 gust winds on every flight and it scared me honestly but at the same time I became very frustrated because I wanted to learn and over come those same points that you mentioned. The fear and actually take the knowledge base and apply it in my training but I was so terrified I couldn’t concentrate. Which why I’m looking to transfer to another school

    • @BradTakesFlight
      @BradTakesFlight 15 днів тому

      😳😳That’s some serious winds…especially when you are just beginning. It’s hard to do anything in that much wind! Set some personal minimums and tell the instructor you are not going to up unless the wind meets your minimum. It’s for safety and your confidence.

      Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad my video helped you! Review the ACS and quiz your self for the oral part. Take your time and talk through each maneuver before doing it. Remain focused. Don't let one mistake distract you and snowball into additional mistakes. Best of luck on your check ride!

      Charlie’s accomplishment is unparalleled and there will never be another first, but it doesn’t diminish what Amelia achieved. You have to remember that women just got the right to vote and educating women was seen as an afterthought in society.
