It can be very frustrating when you're practicing and training but you don't feel like you're making any progress. That's the situation I've been in for a little while. I've done a lot of takeoffs and landings and I just keep making the same mistakes over and over, and sometimes make mistakes I haven't made in a long time. My flight instructor had a hunch and asked me to do something that changed everything.

Diary of a Student Pilot003 - Trouble taking offWhen your plane goes from safely and securely on the ground to flying in the air, that transition can actually be pretty challenging. Just a moment ago your tires were on the ground and you were in pretty good control of where you wanted to go.

Transitioning from that familiar ground-state to riding the air currents can be... challenging.

Diary of a Student Pilot002 - Checklists on my mindSo much of flying is about checklists. I have been surprised to learn just how many checklists you have to learn. Checklists about the fuel quality, the wings, checking the electrical system, checking the communications... And that's all BEFORE you even take off! I've been trying to think more about how to improve my checklist game.
