hi

was reading about the sex on first date... I mean, landing on second lesson scenario.
In fact, I see it quite often on the forums an dit makes me wonder if I am retarded, or an alien.... or a bit of both !

I went solo on my 14th hour of training, and up to my 10th/11th hour I felt wanting to get out of the bloody thing for not being able to get it right. Then all of a sudden it kicked in and all became easier. You know the score.

On my second hour I was probably still struggling to comprehend that the 2 pedals in front of me are not for braking and accelerating, and that while taxiing on the ground there's no need to move the control yoke to steer left and right !

Yet someone with no experience at all on their second flying hour can line up, glide down at the correct airspeed and gently touch down safely just a few yards past the numbers !

Of course I must have been hanging out with the wrong crowd !
