REKINDLE THE SPARK: FALL IN LOVE WITH AVIATION ALL OVER AGAIN

摘要

Your trips to the airport are getting farther and farther apart. You don't study with the same intensity as before. And when you do schedule a flight, you don't obsess about it the night before or get the same giddy feeling as you once did. What's going on? You've lost sight of the goal. Flying is fun. It can be thrilling, satisfying, or offer friendship and camaraderie, but whether you fly a Piper Cub or an Airbus, flying should always have an element of fun and enjoyment. It's your responsibility to keep it that way. It's an unfortunate truth that flight instructors are generally good at teaching people to fly airplanes, but they are lousy at turning people into pilots. Translation: Learning to fly likely set you up for a lifetime of safe adventures but gave you zero insight into how to have those adventures. The result is that many pilots get into a slump. You earn the certificate, take up your friends and family for a ride, go to a few local airport restaurants, and then get bored.
