Since passing my PPL a couple of months back and since looking at a stripped down C152, I found it quite scary to think 'that is all thats keeping you in the air!!?
' I must say I find it slightly un-easy flying over expanses of water or over urban area's more so now I have a better understanding of how an engine works and what could potentially go wrong. (When I was younger and learning to fly I didn't really think about it!) I suppose i'm being too nervous but sometimes I say to myself "if my engine fails now...i'm in the s**t!"
