Suppose I’ll get it started since it’s still April Fools day……..
A Co-worker’s 17 year old daughter put “Pilot” down on her list of things she might want to do for a living. Local sources for Intro flights have been really bogged down lately especially for a lack of CFI’s.
Our schedules aligned this afternoon and we did Maya’s (I also have a Mya) first small airplane flight. We spent some time on the ground going over the airplane’s control surfaces and what was displayed on the EFIS.
A few checklists and procedures and we were safely airborne with Maya on the controls, she was a natural. Pretty sure she thought all turns were done at 45*, with the RV smile of course. She was so comfortable I demonstrated a power off stall and a simulated engine out at altitude as an example of what to expect while training for her PPL. Really hoping she chases the pilot dream, her dad said she was smiling all the way home.
