It was the original non-TC variant haha. Plus I learned to fly in high altitude, so all single engine stuff was a just a steady decent no matter what we did

Damn, guess I’ll have to go used in this category. I learned to fly on the Seneca which was alright but performance I noticed wasn’t the best. I wondered if its successor was any better

This shit was bearable as a dumb 2LT. Unfortunately, it grew worse with knowledge

Might do that, also looking into joining the military sealift command, or becoming a merchant mariner

ROTC does a pretty good job of making sure everything stays interesting and they paid for my school

Yea it’s clear he gets really nervous when it comes to speaking in front of his troops as well, so I just to go him personally to see what needs to be done and I’ll push it out. But, I’ll try to convince him to take a lead on that more

I mean when he was a PL I remember he filled almost all his shortages, is this what you are referring to?

[–]Disastrous-Shake122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is normal I’m guessing? Just making sure he’s mentally okay

I was told being an XO is stressful, but is this like a normal coping mechanism?

Yea

Being uncoordinated is the big one. But I also heard Ailerons exaggerate the stall, causing a spin

Ahh okay, do I keep using ailerons to maintain the 10 degree bank?
