Feature Article: Learning To Fly
There is no single way to get a pilot license. Getting it is
faster and cheaper if training is done consistently with the same
aircraft and instructor. Of equal importance is that you be exposed
to several different procedures but taught only the one that best
conforms to safety and the PTS. Find an instructor who teaches
because he wants to, not because he has to. A good instructor
is a contradiction in that he must be both a critic and a motivator.
Correction that points out the causes leading to an error is good.
Instruction that anticipates areas of difficulty is best.
Being casual and friendly does not mean being either careless
or having lax standards. Permitting a bad habit to develop could
be the worst thing that an instructor can do to you. A demonstration
that does not teach is useless. The best time to make your mistakes
is when with an instructor. Providing, of course, that the instructor
uses a mistake as a learning opportunity and a teaching opportunity
for the two of you.
What one learns in flying is how fragments of an individual's
experience are woven together, either supporting the long term
goal and ambition or unconsciously undermining our efforts and
needlessly complicating our program. Knowing too much about flying
can be just as detrimental to acquiring new skills as can knowing
too little.
