Guest aussie carl Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 After my indecisiveness to rejoin RAA. Forum members helped me to" get it together" so to speak. today I done 53min Solo 3. the instructor didn't even get in this time. Made heaps of mistakes but sorted them. took off 10 for right circuits 03. BAK and some more training to go. I'M EXCITED ! WOOO HOOOOOO ! For those who are thinking about giving up. DON'T GIVE UP ! it gets easier.
Piet Fil Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 It is a challenge but that is why it is so rewarding. If it was easy, being human, we wouldn't value it any where near as much. It has helped me personally, being a very goal orientated person, in realising that in aviation there is no end state! There is no point at which you can say I know enough, there is always more out there. For me this is a good thing, I know i have a long gradual road of learning new things in front of me and I find this a wonderful thing. I have for years been trying to teach myself that it is the journey we must learn to enjoy not the getting somewhere. For me, having my children helped me 'mentally' start slowing down and smelling the roses and I have brought this to my aviation dream. I am trying to enjoy every aspect of the journey of learning to aviate as best I can at all times. Yes its frustrating at times but all the more enjoyable when the break through happens and we look back at how far we have come. I believe flying has made me a better person in all aspects of my life through application of thought and discipline, but most importantly just enjoying the moment. A bit philosophical, but its early, the house is quiet allowing me to think. Back to what I originally meant to say: WELL DONE CARL, I'M GLAD YOU"RE BACK WITH US! Phil 1
Neil_S Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Hi Carl, Well done, mate! Good to have you back on board. And I agree with Kyliefil - you NEVER stop learning! That's what makes it fun and rewarding. Happy Landings! Neil
Guernsey Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Don't forget Carl, you learn by your mistakes, so the more you make, the more you learn, that's if i'm not mistaken. Welcome back. Alan.

Guest aussie carl Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks Fellas. Back on the right track and doing one prac lesson and one theory lesson a week now till I get my Cert.
ayavner Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 and thank YOU for the encouragement, aussie carl... its encouraging for me to see others have overcome doubts and obstacles and that it really does happen. Way to go on the solo!!
Guest aussie carl Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 ayavner, part of the reason for this thread was to share experiences, after talking to some of my mates re training, before I started this thread they have told me all the issues they have had, the exam failures, things that went wrong, the SAME fealing of unable to do it or be able to do it. "fly" Prior to me fealing like giving up they only told me about the good stuff about flying. Today solo 4 was very interisting. Engine troubles on climb out after a touch and go. Had my headset camera roling and heart rate fairly pumping. It was a good experince in a controled environment.
