 1st day of hood work
So I am working on my PPL, and did some hood work for the 1st time today. It's amazing how your body gives you mixed signals on what the aircraft is doing when flying on instruments. I got the sensation that the airplance was rapidly yawing, and almost spinning right around the vertical axis! I've flown instruments on the flight sim many times, but it's a lot different when you feel the forces. It shows the importance of trusting those instruments, even when you feel like the plane is doing something else. But is was very fun. I can't wait to start working on my instrument rating! |
