My first flight lesson is this Friday.
I have been studying for the past few weeks, learning all there is to know about the Cirrus SR-20 and SR-22.
Flying with instrument is not unlike mapping. You have to know the functionality of all these buttons; you need to have good spatial awareness; you need to understand pitch/yaw/roll.
See you in the sky!
Sounds amazing! Good luck!
My first flight went extremely well. Even though I've never flown before, I had sole command of the aircraft during taxing, takeoff, and turns. I flew the plane to Catalina, an island off the coast of California. The instructor landed the plane.
What I found interesting is that when I play FPS games, I always have to invert the y-axis from the default mouse control. Yet this is the correct maneuver in an aircraft--moving the yoke forward brings the pitch down, and pulling it aft causes the pitch to go up. This was the original default setting in Doom.
