On our way back to the school he told me I was doing fantastic and was absolutely confident I would do my PPL in the minimum hours. I was relieved to be on solid ground, but elated to have had a great first lesson. I reassured him I really appreciated the high pace, just needed to get a bit of breathing going if we didn't want my lunch on the floor of the Cessna. He quickly apologized for giving me so much and said we only needed to get back in the circuit and land. We were on our way back to the airfield, and I was still in control, my instructor telling me instructions on how you enter a circuit, what to say on radio and I'm sure other things I can't recall right now, when I had to tell him I was holding my lunch down by sheer force. We were reaching the end of the lesson after many turns and dips and at this point, as much as I was loving the experience I was really getting nauseous. At this point I was starting to feel a bit nauseous, I admit I hate roller coasters and get pretty nauseous in them, and this felt awfully familiar. We tried all different ways I can imagine you can manipulate the controls, going up, down, left, right, yaw, slips and even slow flight and flaps.

I followed along as the instructor told me, was far too slow with the throttle (he kept telling me to go full throttle but I took my sweet time.), but otherwise took off reasonably well I think!Īnd then it was a whirlwind of exercises! My FI was not kidding when he said he was going to give me lots to do. I was not expecting that level of control at my first lesson! Honestly, I loved it. To my surprise I was told to line up on the runway and take off. My instructor let me on the controls as soon as the engine was on, while he managed the radio. Once in the plane, another C152 Aerobat, my FI went through the pre-startup checklist with me from memory (he didn't have the physical checklist with him.

Instructor tells me he'll give me lots to do as he knows what I can do from the trial flight. We started off in the office with some overview of what we were about to do in the air. He seems like a great instructor and person. My instructor was the same as for my Trial flight, which I didn't expect but I was very happy. The physicality of it, the feeling of sitting in a tin can but actually nimble and so light is nothing that can be simulated. I booked a "Trial Lesson", found my way to the airfield, experienced driving into an active aerodrome for the first time (scary that!), met my pilot/instructor, and took off in a Cessna 152 Aerobat (he promised no aerobatics, thanks for that ), and WOW.įinally I was flying a plane I've flown so many times in simulators (I know, what a cliché). I'm based in East London and was scouting around for a flight school when I found North Weald Flight Training, about 35 minute drive from where I live and work, and from a browse on here it seemed like a good choice! If anyone is flying with them or have in the past, let me know! I want that sweet insider gossip. Maybe it was Covid, maybe an early mid-life crisis, but about 2 months ago I decided, **** it, excuse the French, let's do it! It's been about 15 years since the idea of learning to fly came into my head, for some reason always seemed out of my reach.
