I agree with 126.7
Hi Sunfish,
Before you start reading: very tired, busy week, friday drinks at work, hopefully this will make some sense!
I'm about 90% of the way through my PPL; hardly qualifying for 'skygod' status...certainly haven't earned the right to call myself a 'pilot' (probably more a 'foetus pilot' if anything). I however get a bit nervy at certain times when training solo when there is no 'comfort blanket' of my instructor. My first dose of this was when I was on my first solo and a Fouga Jet crashed in the vicinity...
I think a certain amount of nervous cautiousness can be a good thing in aviation. I tend to think twice when I'm 'sitting pretty' in the cockpit and use mental down-time to do checks, drills etc... My instructor always says 'if you find yourself not doing something then there's something wrong!'
I'm not sure if this is any help at all, but that's where I'm at with regards to flying. I still get nervous and still stuff up sometimes. That's the problem with being human!
Cheers
