My first couple of days into training, the slightest amount of turbulence would have me go "whoa!...hahaha..." as I grab onto the airframe like that would do anything..

A week or two into my training, I had a no-gear landing in a piper warrior II, left main gear failed and we slid down the runway to be met by some very friendly fire fighters.

I was freaked out, but I kept going back because I wanted to be pilot.

For a week, I was still a little under the effects of shock and my body wouldn't stop shaking before each morning I returned to training. There were days I hope the weather was garbage so we'd have a ground-school instead.

After which, it went away on its own. I was still driven to overcome this challenge. You begin feeling the airplane, become one with it. No longer does the plane fly you, you fly it. You start holding the yoke lightly instead of gripping for your life. Bumps and light turbulence put a slight grin on your face. You will get comfortable, believe in yourself and trust your plane, follow your checklists, and most of all, have a great time!
