This year has kicked my ass and at times still kicks my ass but I’m fighting back every day trying to become the best version of me. Working hard on myself inside and out. Finding my way through pain, heartache, stress and major anxiety. Finding more strength in me I didn’t think I had and moving onwards and upwards a step at a time. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthjourney #mentalhealthrecovery #freshstart #newjourney #learningtofly

Fly me into the hedge please!

The end of the runway is in sight.

Sadly we are still at 400 feet and on a glidepath that will take us beyond the hedge at the far end of the runway.

“What are you thinking?” I enquire optimistically as my student wrestles internally with the decision making process that should really go something like this:

“Dan’s asked me what I’m thinking. That probably means that this approach is not very good. I should go around.”

“I think its ok.” is the optimistic reply I get.

With a sigh I command, “Ok, full power go-around.”

This type of exchange happens from time to time and its usually when the student has been ‘circuit bashing’, or practising repeated take offs and landings for some time without success. However, it’s also usually around this point that the student is right on the cusp of ‘getting it’.

Getting it: that joyful moment when something that someone has been struggling with suddenly clicks. It happens all the time in life, from the moment you take your first steps (although granted, its likely you can’t remember those), to the time your dad ran along behind you pretending to hold the bike seat as you rode without your stabilisers the first time. Or what about the time you finally swam without your armbands?

Flying, and in particular landing, is no different. Once you understand what you are trying to achieve, and get it, you will never forget.

Spoiler alert, you will still make some shit landings!

But, you will at least be able to work out why it went wrong, and more importantly, what you can do differently next time to address it.

It’s one of the greatest joys of my job as a flight instructor to see someone ‘get it’ – in fact it’s probably more rewarding than seeing someone’s first solo, as I’m just generally just like a mother hen during that particular milestone, fussing and worrying (unnecessarily I might add). The ‘getting it’ moments are just as big in my eyes, as that is when people start to fly the plane, rather than being flown by the plane.

And that moment, when someone flies a stable glide approach, to the aiming point, rounds out at just the right height, holds the plane in the air until the speed has bled off, and does NOT attempt to fly it into the runway, erm, I mean land it, that moment is one of the most satisfying moments there is when teaching people to fly.

The secret to landing, paradoxically, is to try not to land. And as soon as my students not only realise that, but actually believe it, that’s when they begin to make real progress.

That’s when they can judge the angle of the approach more accurately, and at 400ft over the middle of the runway, we’d already be at full power on the go-around without me needing to utter a single syllable.

That’s when they ‘get it’.

Einmal nicht aufgepasst und schon schickt einen der Fluglehrer in die ersten Solo-Platzrunden. Bin ich jetzt erwachsen? #aviation #learningtofly

Flight training yesterday, 7 landings, and one real life go-around. Runway incursion by two dogs and their walkers (airstrip has a foot path running alongside on the other side of a hedge, but idiots people cross over into the airfield regularly). #RuralEnglandFlying.
Also got to land on the short runway (400m) which has a tall hedge and electric cables on the threshold. :yikes:
It's not regularly used but my instructor seems to like challenging me.

Sometime around July 2010 the summer months became baby seagull season outside our office window. It’s been like that ever since. Squeeep. Squeeep. #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #FuinneogFriday #Window #BabyGull #Seagull #LearningToFly #GoAheadAndJump #Mastodaoine #TGIF #Ireland

Another new fpv drone video uploaded. #drone #tinywhoop #whoops #fpv #mobula7 #analog #kwads #whoop #learningtofly https://youtu.be/s0rAG8LaG5A

I had #GreatHornedOwls nest near my house last spring. After their nest collapsed, we re-nested them, using an old milk crate. The parents kept tending them. Here’s one practicing balance and strengthening its wings.

Hi Y'all! Here's another process set. I included where I realized the legs were too long, and I had to go back in and re-paint/re-draw.

With all my thanks to @yorkslifemodel !
