      Go to your local flight school, almost all airports will have some kind of flight school trust me and ask for a discovery flight. More than likely it’ll be free. One of the instructors will take you up for a half hour or so and let you have the controls for a bit to let you get the feel for the aircraft and ask questions!! About the flight school and prices and timeframes and scheduling and just about flying in general, if there’s ONE thing pilots love just as much as airplanes and actually flying it’s TALKING about flying and airplanes and answering questions my man I promise you. You’d be hard pressed to find a pilot you could ever come close to annoying by asking too many questions lol. Your gunna love it!! I was doing my PPL in high school and was very close to doing my first solo flight when I had to give it up for a while bc of financing issues and will be going back soon to finish it or even restart it if I have to. Flying an airplane is a feeling that can’t be described it can only be felt, you’ll see my friend I promise you’ll understand EXACTLY what I mean when you experience so good luck and blue skies buddy!!

  • @mianatwood
    @mianatwood 7 месяцев назад

    This isn’t VOR navigation parse you can call it “HSI” navigation. Most airplanes got a plan VOR and that is what cause confusion for most people. You would be flying away from a VOR thinking the course is to your right instead of left cuz it doesn’t compensate for heading changes 🤷‍♂️💀
