Pay attention to what it looks like, the relative position
of the nose of the airplane to the horizon and just where
the horizon is on the windshield. Relax and listen to the
sounds and your body's sensations.

That will make the next flight more productive because
you'll know what it should look like.

| Salutations All,
|
| After years of playing in Microsoft Flight
Simulator/X-Plane, reading
| the rec.aviation newsgroups, and staring longingly out the
window of
| Southwest Airlines 737's whenever I go on business trips,
I've finally
| swallowed hard and taken the plunge - my first
introductory flight is
| this Saturday with Skyline Aeronautics out of Spirit of
St. Louis
| Airport (KSUS) in St. Louis, MO. The scheduler said I'm
scheduled in a
| Diamond Katana two-seater, tail number 227RD.
|
| Obviously, I'm nervous and excited about my first time up,
but what
| things should I know? Is there really anything, or should
I just show
| up expecting a good, relaxing time? I'm a software
engineer, so most
| things in my business require a lot of upfront planning,
reading, and
| work. Is there anything I should make myself familiar
with? Questions I
| should ask when I get there, etc?
|
| Any advice anyone could give would be most appreciated!
|
| Regards,
| Bryan Porter
