How to improve when you are older...
Hi all,
Does anyone have any advice or examples of how to improve handling skills, situational awareness & ability when nearing the big 50?
I did a PPL quite late (38), got a CPL and FIC age 40 and have spent the last few years microlighting & GA instructing. I'm now on approx 1300 hrs and am doing regular aerobatics, but the aeros are exposing some poor handling skills. I'm going to keep looping & rolling away (with at least 4000' agl) but I'm wondering what else I can do to get the SA and handling better. I'm also flying a new type with a CSU & lots of radio kit and it is a bit of a shock after a 3 axis microlight!
Would something completely different - like an IMC help, or is the solution more Aeros? Does anyone have any similar experiences of getting into flying relatively late and struggling?
cheers
