Final Approach
alright funny story.. well wasn't that funny when it happened...
I was flying with my CFI with a death grip on the yoke, about 2900 ft when I hear Cessna ... traffic advisory (or something to that effect), 12'O clock 3 miles out at 3100 ft. my CFI replied looking for traffic.
here is what happened next:

here is what happened next:
- my mind started doing calculations at the speed of light.... I am travelling at 95 knots, the other dude is probably travelling at the same time.. and by the time I finish doing this 4th grade math, I would smell his deodorant
- ok lets try to find a plane now...where do I look? instead of looking straight ahead, I looked down on the road and started scanning... my CFI chuckled and said.. u know u aint driving right?
- ATC calls out, traffic no concern (or something like that, still new to radio calls, but at least now I can figure out when they are talking to me)
