Ok, so curiosity has gotton the better of me, I was down at MAN airport last night and this evening - seeing my boyfriend who is a passing ship in the night, not trying to steal any planes.. honest
And whilst waiting I was wondering, having myself now had a taste of flying a plane all be it a 'small plane' (whenever I book my lessons my instructor really will hate me won't he or she, small plane, big plane, look at the motorway from up here etc, oh my
) I noticed that there's alot to be done when actually flying a plane. It got me thinking, obviously this is where everyone (most anyway) start of and I know before you go commercial there's lots of training and I assume time in a simulator.
My question is, was the first time that auto pilot went on and the computer flew the plane and you just sat back was it strange or did it make you abit anxious or was it a nice relief to sit back and relax abit?
The only thing I relate it to is when I put cruise control on in my car, totally freaks me out!
