New student pilot
Hi Nancy_bird, if you've got 9 hours and don't understand why you land into wind and find the need to ask a forum like this one you might want to find another instructor. Firstly your instructor(s) should have addressed this topic by now and have checked to see if you understood why, secondly they should establish a relationship where you feel totally comfortable to ask any question. Remember, the only silly question is the one you didn't ask! It's great for you to do your own study from the flying training manual, provided the instructor confirms your understanding of what you've studied during a preflight briefing. For most, if not all of your lessons so far you should have had an absolute minimum of 20 preflight briefing in a classroom with the instructor. If this isn't the case spend some time finding a school who will brief and debrief every session - both dual and solo. This is critical - even if you pay a bit more. Remember the stuff you're doing now forms the basis for the rest of your flying future. Good luck and enjoy your learning!!

I am new GA, I have just 9 hours so far and am on a SPL. So far the theory aspect is ok & not too complicated for me, one thing I don't quite fully understand is why we land in to the wind? would it not be quicker to land with the wind to arrive earlier? Going a bit off topic! my mum asked me a question the other day and I could not answer! perhaps someone here knows?? obviously a propeller spins around and creates the thrust which makes you move along on ground and in the air, but on the Qantas planes they don't have propellers so what is creating the thrust? is there a hidden propeller you just cant see it?? |
Well its kind of true isnt it? There is a prop.. and it is 'hidden'..

YES YES and YES
High wing Cessnas great planes
Learn in one well and you will handle anything in future including cross winds. In 1980 I learned to fly in C152's at Staywood Air then bought a French Reims/Cessna with an 0240 engine and flew it 1700 hours. Then I bought a C150L and stuffed a 150 HP avcon conversion in it and flew it around Australia in the Bicentennial Air-race and beat many faster aircraft and commercial pilots. I never had engine problems, force landings or any issues. After 1988 up graded it to IFR and did my Class 3 rating then my Class one rating flying with 5 or 6 CASA Examiners of airmen. The only criticism was that they said I needed an autopilot for IFR so went to ARCAV and fitted a system 40. Also fitted an original GPS100AVD Plane still flying some where in WA, I did 2500 hours in it. Im still up in Vic not in a Cessna however but after a break of two years I was able to step into an ugly duckling Lance Tee Tail and never died so YES go CESSNA!! :ok: |
