Have just had my trial instructural flight at Gawler S.A. (Jabiru J160) and by enlarge enjoyed it. Have booked next lesson in a week, so must have been ok.
Having now read some thoughts of past learners via these and other internet links, I feel relieved to hear that anxiety, fear and nervousness are common.
Throttling the stick to death was not good and not having ever met the instructor I don't think is good. I am a friendly sort of person but I found him to be overpowering tho' strictness is always good.
Have downloaded a picture of instument panel, so when a direction is issued by the CFI I can locate correct instrument instantly.
I am 49 years old and own a country newsagency, any encouragement or advice greatly received.
Tomo.
