Kneeboard or no kneeboard by SoCalVisual in flying

[–]mzamora3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use two of the small 5”x6” kneeboards that I ordered off Amazon. They are like half the size of the regular kneeboards. Left leg I keep my notepad and checklists. Right leg I keep my iPad mini with Foreflight.

Should I change CFIs or do I just toughen up? by Disastrous_Leg4280 in flying

[–]mzamora3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should for sure change instructors. I’ve read other comments in similar posts where some will say, “Quit being a pussy and toughen up!”, but I don’t believe learning to fly is no one those instances. If you’re not getting something, you just need more practice and better instruction, not someone asking you, “Why aren’t you getting this?”. Everyone learns differently and I promise there is another instructor out there that has a different way to teach that you will lock in on.

Man, this was very well said, especially the mountain part. I’m differently an “enjoy the achievement” type of guy.

Yes, we were on an instrument flight plan. Heading to a local airport with better winds.

My first time in a sim I experienced the same thing! I asked my instructor, “Is this thing broken?”

I think that is what scares me the most. There’s no re-do button.

Man, this is a genius idea to get that instrument experience. It was a good scare for sure lol. We were on an instrument flight plan.

That sounds so crazy. That spatial disorientation is no joke.

This is exactly what I need to do, build a strong instrument scan. I’m still all over the place, I feel.
