Its perfectly normal, you’ve started a major new chapter in your life.
Flying is very stressful enterprise this early on because it’s all things you haven’t dealt with before and it’s such a cacophony of sounds.
Movement in all axis with a new component, up and down, that you’re not used to.
Loud engine, somebody trying to talk to you and you trying to make sense between whatever he told you in the classroom.
Enjoy your flight training!
Great to see I'm not the only one, if I have an early flight I can't sleep either. I feel like I'm learning, because every lesson, I make a few mistakes and then I don't make these mistakes the next flight. Which is great to see. Thanks for your words !
