Thank you all for providing insightful opinions. I will consider all of them. Probably as i continue to spend more time flying in Bankstown I will begin driving more. One clarification I could make is that I didn't mean to use car driving help me improve flying skills and I know it's not possible. I just think/guess maybe driving experience can prevent some of my past and current IT/computer related working habbits making negative effects for flight training. That's the main point. Also I should get my language/English/communication ability some progress. All in all, thanks for sharing ideas and further discussion appreciated :)

Hi all I think my question/situation is a little bit of rare so I start this question and want to hear from you experience pilots. I'm a 30+ migrant from China working as a software engineer for 10 years. Now I use my weekends taking flight training for Private Pilot Licence in Sydney. Currently I don't see any big problem with my training and probably in next couple of weeks I will have my first Solo. What concerns me is my past experience. I can say I'm rather a good programmer and writing code for computer(iPhone) is really different from driving or flying. My flight instructor tend to say (and I agree) I always fly with the exact numbers rather than make necessary adjustment according to situation outside. So I guess with the past 10 years indoor in-front-of-keyboard office life/experience. The more you get your life/experience aligned with computer/coding, the harder you could get out of it. What's worse is I don't have any driving experience until two months ago I started to practice for my Australian driver's licence. Now I have my licence issued for one month and I still only drove four or five times with rented car. Though I love public transportation and I'm not that declined to own a car, now I start to thinking about the benefit of driving experience for my flight training. At least driving skills are accumulated with "hours" (which is the same as flying) and it will get me out of computer world. Do you have any suggestion or advice on this? Thanks for reading and replying. Cheers~ P.S. if possible, my target is CPL one day.

I flied Piper Warrior I/II/III, four of them in four sessions. This Thursday will be my fifth hour for some training in stall.

Hi all I'm a new PPL student pilot. Using my weekends to fly for my PPL. Cheers~~
