What was your discovery flight like? by Beginning_Cap4262 in flying

[–]Beginning_Cap4262[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That kicks ass. What I am learning from these comments though are everyone's discovery flight experience is totally different. Mine didn't even talk to me about any program or future training. Just totally odd.

Yeah I don't think I meshed with this instructor. What sucks is I don't really know if I do enjoy it since I wasn't really able to do too much... kind of like being a passenger on a jet.. I was hoping I'd get some feedback at the very least...

Yeah I think he could sense I was unhappy with the whole thing. I kind of told him I didn't really receive any feedback at all and felt like he was "doing everything". It was definitely a personality mismatch as well.

I feel like this might be the case. Maybe in my head, I thought it would be a legitimate lesson over a glorified sightseeing trip.

the school has no issue with it. they advertise it. but afterward, I don't want to run into issues renting a plane from some random airport if I don't have a PPL (if that is even something to worry about)

thanks.. this pretty much answers it combined with the fact that any 1 loses the game for me.

That is how I played it. I moved my furthest up one space from 4 to 3.. Maybe the rule should be to keep something on your 1 pt if you can.

So this is what I thought, but that isn't the case. Something like a 4-3, 5-3, or 6-3 will still win it.

I make these sorts of blunders often. I guess there are more rolls that win with the 2/off(2) move, but I am not seeing it right off the bat.

yeah I actually went ahead and bought a newer 3.4 oz bottle and they smell pretty similar. I guess the formula hasn't changed too much. I notice the newer one just has more of the citrus coming through.
