Week 1 Reflection

Reflecting on my first week of learning to fly, I am satisfied and tires, but eager. Each day brought new learning, from morning flights to afternoon simulator sessions and ground school. This week has reassured me that this is something that I enjoy and should continue to pursue.

Flying has been a ton of fun. Taking the controls, feeling the G-forces during maneuvers, and seeing the world from a new perspective has been thrilling. However, I do wish I were better at it. One challenging area is "stepping on the ball" - using the rudder during turns, a skill I aim to improve with practice.

My time at flight school has met my expectations. The information has been a lot, and I haven’t perfectly understood all of it, but it’s retained my interest by challenging me to figure it out. Each hour spent in the air or the classroom is a step closer to my private pilot's license. This week's activities have contributed to the necessary requirements – instructor hours, preparation for the written test, and practical flying experience.

In conclusion, this week has been a great start. It has helped me achieve my long term goals as every struggle is an opportunity to learn. This has helped me fulfill my long term goals of filling my time with more intense and significant hobbies and actions. I look forward to continuing this in the weeks to come.

    It sounds like you learned a ton in the first week, and I am glad you are enjoying the experience especially given how much work you are putting in to the task.

8:00 Today, I started my day at flight school by focusing on self-study for the written test, mainly revising what I had learned yesterday. From 10:00 to 12:00, I was back in ground school with Alan, learning about wind and weather patterns that affect flight. We discussed how changes in pressure and temperature can create wind, and how these winds interact with terrain to form predictable patterns. We also covered how to interpret METAR reports, which provide timely information about weather conditions at airports. From 12:00 to 1:00, I took a break for lunch and grabbed a quick meal at McDonald's. After lunch (1:00 to 3:00), I jumped back into the simulator with Alan. We continued practicing with the Bonanza, this time simulating a flight from Centennial Airport to Aspen, one of the highest altitude airports in the U.S. I'm getting better at landing in the simulator, but it’s much easier than landing the actual plane. At 3:00, George and I went up for some actual flying, wher

  8:00 My fifth day at flight school started with a morning flight with George. We kept working on stalls and steep turns, and we also worked on properly lining up for landings. This session lasted until about 10:00, after which I jumped into the simulator with Alan from 10:00 to 12:00. We simulated various flight conditions and emergencies (engine and instrument failures), which made me more confident in handling the aircraft. After a quick lunch with Phuc from 12:00 to 1:00, I headed back to ground school. We studied airport operations and communication, and weather patterns affecting flight until 3:00. I spent the remaining two hours on self-study for the written test, wrapping up my day at 5:00. Total hours: 8

  8:00 Today, my day at flight school started with some morning self-study, once again quizzing myself for the written test. 10 to 12 was spent with Alan, focusing on airspace regulations and different classes of airspace. I learned about Class A, B, C, and D airspace, each with their specific requirements for communication, equipment, and pilot certification. For instance, in Class B airspace, which surrounds the busiest airports, pilots must obtain a clearance before entering, while in Class C airspace, two-way communication is necessary before entering the area. From 12:00 to 1:00, I had lunch. At 1:00, I hopped into the simulator with Alan and had the opportunity to fly a new aircraft, the Bonanza. We simulated a flight from Manchester to Albany, and I learned about the constant speed prop, which provides greater efficiency and control over the engine's power output. After the simulator session, George and I took to the skies and flew to Concord, where we practiced landings. Th
