Pre-Flight
How long do they usually last? Was it tougher than you had imagined? Did you feel "comfortable" as a pilot after passing? If not, are you now and how long did it take?
This is my first post here so I guess I should add "Hello, my name is Mike".
I'm getting back into training after a 5 year layoff. I had accumulated 49 hours and passed my written...only had to do the 3 legged solo crosscountry and woulda been ready for the checkride but life got in the way and I think I was still concerned over my "nervousness" while flying solo. It's funny...I fly in helicopters everyday for work and am completely comfortable flying in any aircraft but not so much with me behind the controls. Anyway, I did my first lesson the other day and flew close to standards despite the long layoff but still need some polishing. I appreciate any responses! Tell me your experience!
