Expectations

I'm pretty excited about multi engine class. It's great to be this far in my flight training! Just a couple years ago I was dreaming about simply flying a plane, and now I'm moving on to two engines.

I'm expecting not to just learn to fly a twin-engine airplane, but to become a more professional pilot. I expect to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to handle a twin-engine plane and do it safely and effectively.

I also expect to learn how to become a safer pilot in all aircraft, not just twin engines. I hope to learn how to combat hazardous attitudes mainly. I know hazardous attitudes are some of the worst things a pilot can come across, and I myself have had experience with them, mainly invulnerability.

I also know a lot of multi engine training is learning to fly a multi engine plane on just one engine. I hope to gain the skills necessary to quickly get myself out of a sticky situation should an engine ever quit on me. I know as a pilot I have a responsibility to keep myself, the rest of the crew, and the passengers safe.

As for blogging, I think it's will be a fun and interesting way to do homework. It's certainly something that I have never done for a previous class.

I am also not new to blogging. I have had a blog since my senior year of high school, although a grand total of three people can actually see it. I mainly write stuff about my life and... yeah that's pretty much it. Chances are you'll never see it, but don't take it the wrong way. :)

Anyway, this class should be fun, especially with the AWESOME instructor.

Until next time.
