Feature Article: Mad As Hell And Taking It

In flying we react in an emergency as we first learned to react. When we show anger we react as we first learned to react. Just as understanding an aircraft emergency will enable us to cope with it, so will a better understanding of anger help to defuse it. Almost any situation or delay can become an invitation for you to become angry. You are not required to accept the invitation. You may accept the invitation and become angry or you chose to ignore it. It didn't happen. You can intellectually reduce the 'sting' by assuming that you were not the target of the invitation in the first place. Skill in flying will improve most anyone's emotional stability.

    "I just completed one of your free exams. As a student pilot I have recently started to get inundated with offers from companies trying to sell me materials for preparing for the written knowledge exam. Your free exam feature was a welcome find. I don't know if I will manage one per day for a week, but I'm sure that the ones I do take on the site will help me tremendously. Thanks."
