I had a situation a couple of years ago in a 22 shortly after gaining my PPL. A phrase regarding robbos 'fly like a bird, sting like a bee' you hear it alot and i think most pilots have had a moment at some time or another.

I suffered numerous sleepless nights and some serious soul searching as to whether i wanted to continue flying.

Thanks to some excellent FI's my confidence restored i now love flying again, and i learnt a hell of alot in those few seconds and looking back i'm glad it happened.

I would rather get bitten, walk away, learn from it and improve as a pilot ......................
