Did an intro flight at a local flight school here and had a blast. I am now addicted and will work on getting my PPL.
Flew a 152. My CFI had me taxi the plane, take off and fly the entire flight up until the turn to base. Didn’t expect to do so much, but a lot of it felt natural since I have been flying simulators since I was quite young. CFI told me he thinks I would be good enough to be able to finish my PPL at 40 hours or damn near close to it. Can’t wait to be able to fly whenever I want!
MaxSez: My memories fading, I barely remember my first time. i think l was on my first cruise up in the Med. I seem to remember she was old, fat an I felt cheated, it cost $2.00.
My first time I remember circrling the pattern for ever waiting for clearance. Finally was approved then blew the landing on short final. Practice makes perfect.
Hope you had a blast! I still remember mine - my first flight was cancelled due to weather and my second one had an insane amount of turbulence. The plane was rocking with the parking break on!
The last thing I remember was how hard it was to start the engine. We cranked, primed and cranked again. My instructor went out to check but everything was fine. After a few more minutes, it finally started.
And oh my goodness the engines are loud! :)
