Nervous in the cockpit.
Hello everybody!
I am currently going through my type rating on the a 320, pretty much at the end of the "main" training. I only have 230 hours, since I got into the airline through a cadet scheme.
Anyways, from the beginnig of my training being nervous always messed with my progress. I cant control it, especially in the beginning. I usually study enough, practice in front of the paper tiger, but when it comes to real simlator I get absolutely lost, shaking and making absolutely stupid, absolutely dumb mistakes. My instructor thinks I am a complete idiot. Although I am going to do my skill test tonight, I have already got 2 remidial sessions.
When I just started flying on the piper I had a similar problem, after a while I got more confident and less nervous. But that was piper, a toy. Airbus is a real machine, requires thinking ahead, which I cannot do.
I guess I just wanted to tell this to somebody. Maybe someone can give me an advice. I really love flying, but lately I dread going into the sim.
