“Terrible.” One word easily describes how I feel about my lesson today.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure if it was the crosswind, my schedule circumstances or a combination of the two, but the wind was blowing wildly from the side and I took a break during the middle of an unplanned overtime shift to make this lesson happen. To begin, I was flustered from being called in on my day off to work. There was no way I was going to miss this lesson, however, so I negotiated for an hour off in the middle of my shift to fly. I believe this feeling of being rushed contributed greatly to my performance during the lesson. For some reason I could not get my approaches stabilized or perfect my landings. I came in crooked or high each time and ended up executing GO AROUNDS several times.<\/p>\n
My instructor could tell I was getting frustrated, and he did his best to try and reassure me that the problems I was experiencing weren’t just occurring to me, and that most students struggle with crosswind. That helped, slightly. But I still felt like I should be doing better than I was for the number of hours I have trained thus far (20.2).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
