To the new budding aviators and aviatrix, welcome to PPRUNE. Please post your experiences here, as we all enjoy reliving our student days vicariously through you.
Chillindan: I found a flight diary an excellent debrief tool as it allows you to make some sense of what just happened to you in your last flight and you can go to the next lesson with properly thought out questions for your instructor about improving your skills. I ended up making mine into a blog and its still going today.
