When I was learning to fly, and not quite at a solo stage. 10 people were killed in heli's in 1 week, including the local Agriculture pilot that I used to see flying almost daily.
That really scared me, to the point of giving up.
4 months later I was missing it so much, went back and started again. Few thousand hrs later I am so glad I continued, I have a smile on my face everyday! I couldn't be doing anything else.
Whirls is right, read the accident reports, as there are no new ways to have a prang. Dont get freaked out by the reports, they are a good learning tool.
Get that PPL, take Whirls for a flight, enjoy the freedom. (not with Whirls, the flying I mean
)
And "keep it in the green"!!!!!!
