next year am taking my first trial flight and if flying is my thing
I have always wondered about that one...

Some really enjoy it, but later are bored in a cockpit.
Some are sick during this trial flight, and later become aerobatic instructors.

I wouldn' t give much importance about this trial flight, which is a way for the flight school to get more business.

If deeply you know your motivations, then you already know what you will choose, and this trial flight won' t, I bet, stop you even if you are a bit dizzy during the turns.

There are no human beings physically able to fly versus the ones not able. We are all the same (if no sickness...).


Here is my advice: don' t let yourself becoming the slave of your dreams. Flying an airplane, flying a big jet won' t change you, won' t make you smarter ot anything like that. Make you arrogant maybe. I know, you will say this is not the point, I just remind you this fact.

If you can afford it, go for it. If not, fly gliders, have an interesting job, and travel around the world, you will see much more than any pilots.

I realize this post will seem a bit dark. But sometimes the real truth has to be seen by the wannabes, escpecially when we don' t know where this career is heading.
