Default My 1st Successful Takeoff!

Hi,

Between today and yestrday I had my 1st takeoff's (total around 5) ..

Yesterday was no wind .. and the 1st take off wasn't good because of a trimming problem so the instractor bring it down and fix it ..

then all takeoffs were steady and good, and after the take off I was able to get a good alttitude and fly the plane around till the landing time the instrcutor takes over ..

Last week was little windy and each time a I took off and try to bank right the plane will start to go down ..


The coming week I'll be landing I hope .. by two weeks I guess I'll start to Solo so just wait for me!

Take it easy, when you're ready, you're ready; and your instructor is the one that knows when you're ready.

Good look with your lessons.

Sounds cool. You are half way there. Make sure you are learning to use that rudder.

Don't worry pal

Thou I would like to fly a jet right now (like every body) but if my instructor says I must fly with his help for 10 more years I will wait that long ..

I am not from those ppl who like to hurry things up and get airborn the minute the put a foot on the airfield

AbuAnus,
You have a great attitude about this. You'll do fine, and I'm guessing that you'll be flying solo soon.

Not many have the mind set like you do.....most of them would love to fly off as soon as possible.
I hope other newbies will take your attitude as an example.
Good luck man.

It's great aint it. A few weeks ago I began taking off as well(my instructor had to talk me into trying, after my 6th flight) It's such a cool feeling when your airplane lifts off and you know you just did that. but anyway, after another 6 flights, I'm now practacing high-level slow flight in preperation for landings, so wish me luck( our field has lost four trainers this season in low level flight while practicing setting up for landing,or about 1/2 of the new pilots have put one in, although only one was destroyed, they all needed lots of work and ca )
