Trident3A. Not a sensitive issue but I was going to make a separate thread about it at some point as it's still ongoing to some extent. I was doing a solo nav when whilst looking inside the cockpit briefly at my chart and then looking outside again, I got disorientated. All of a sudden I just felt very uneasy about being in an aircraft. Over the next couple of minutes the situation got out of hand and I started to panic, felt dizzy, claustrophobic etc. To cut a long story short, I struggled through for the next 30 minutes and managed to land back at base, but once on the ground, I vowed never to set foot in a light aircraft again. It shook me up as I'd never experienced this before, and also flying is something I always enjoyed. Although I don't have my PPL yet, I've actually had quite a bit of experience of flying from being in a UAS ten years ago, doing aeros etc, so I was always confident. I spoke to several instructors about it and they were happy to let me go solo again, which I have done. Infact, my last flight was in April and was my XC Qualifier solo, which went without a hitch actually. However, what happened last year is still at the back of my mind and it's turned flying into a chore rather than something that I enjoyed. On top of that, I'm now thinking about what I'm going to do after getting my PPL. I don't feel confident about taking passengers up incase it happens again.
