Learning from mistakes

Boy I sure hope the old adage “we learn best from our mistakes” is true because I sure made a ton of mistakes today during the flight. From failures entering and exiting maneuvers – almost inducing a spin – to missed checklist items while executing simulated emergencies, continued issues with phraseology on the radios, not to mention more shaky landings.

Because it has been a few weeks since we last did these kind of maneuvers I was expecting some challenges but found myself completely lost on more occasions today than I would have hoped.

On the plus side, I had good outing with Simon and Sarah to see the Planes cartoon movie this afternoon and tomorrow is another day of training.
