I know.. it's an archaic phrase. I flew last night for the first time in a couple weeks. Stunk up the sky. Crappy landings. My CFI gave me a pep talk. "Learning to fly is hard!" "Getting through this phase is the tough part." "You are doing fine. It just has to click." "It's a fluid thing with constant adjustment." "Keep at it."
I know all that's true. And I know I can do this.
On a brighter note, we did some navigation planning the other day. It's cool. Figure a course and checkpoints, accounting for wind, figure a true course. Calculate fuel burn and time between checkpoints. Very neat stuff. It was all very pilot-like.
