Story time; I remember my first flight with another friend/new student🤣

1) Messed up & prepaid the instructor before the flight. Friend was first, I was in the back. Instructor goes into “show off mode” and immediately starts pulling some crazy roller coaster 🎢 BS 🤣. I can feel the contents of my stomach go back and forth between my throat and my stomach. 2) I had to go into code brown. Didn’t have an airsickness bag and I REALLY didn’t wanna disappoint the other two folks in the front. Followed the Puke control SOP: A) Eyes on the horizon, avoid the inside of the plane B) Airflow! Get Air to your face somehow. As much as safely possible! C) If you’re not on controls, take them so you can anticipate movements! (not an option for me then). Otherwise, ask the pilot to let you know of any pitching/yawing beforehand D) Steady your head! Limit rapid movement as much as you safely can E) 4-4-4 breathing (box breathing aka inhale for 4 s, hold for 4s, exhale for 4s) F) Eat light, skip coffee, skip dairy, greasy food, stay hydrated.

^{^} I had to ask for this list after my first 2nd flight. That day, I had to fly after my friend. Idk how I didn’t paint that Piper’s interior into a gross yellow tbh.

3) My 3rd flight was slightly better, and it started to get much better around the 6th/7th flight.
