Thanks CBl... you said
For sometime after I was not really enjoying flying as I used to and have only recently started to relax back in the seat.
I had a similar "incident" back in the summer. Nobody died and only the aeroplane a bit bent (but easily fixable.. it has been), but I
was shaken. Practicising PFLs really does pay off.
I have flown on many occasions since, on the basis that "having fallen off the horse, the best remedy was to get straight back on".
Unfortunately, it's taken a quite a while to actually
Enjoy flying again, even though i still felt fairly competent. I've spent lots of time listening to the engine note for the merest quiver, and glancing at the engine instruments.
Not "fun" is it?
Like you I'm only just begining to relax and begin to enjoy being in the sky again... I thought I was alone, so it's good to hear that someone has had a similar experience. Thank you.
