Wow your first lesson, congratulations and welcome to the aviation fellowship that is PPRUNE! Some pointers:
- Relax! The sensations of flying will feel alien to you, but by relaxing you'll learn better.
- Prepare! Read up as much as you can about the lesson at hand. It will help you understand the concepts your instructor is trying to teach you.
- Debrief! After the flight, write down what you learned, and try to think of elements you didn't quite understand or things you would like to try again and make a point of discussing them with your instructor prior to the next lesson.
- Enjoy! That is what flying is all about!
