I?m still a year or two away from my first flight and it dawned on me that I haven?t flown anything since before starting on my -9. Four years w/o flying anything is a long time.
Last night I rented a Decathlon and flew for 1.5 hours. (6 landings, pwr on/pwr off stalls, slips, steep turns, etc. Next flight we will play with loops, rolls, and spins.) One more flight and the CFI said he would have no problem signing my BFR. After that I expect to fly an hour or two a month until the -9 is completed and then take some transition training before my first flight. Note, I did not say the airplane?s first flight as I?m not ready to make the first flight pilot decision yet.
What did the rest of you do to prepare for your first flight? (I do plan on using our chapter?s EAA Flight Advisor just as I?ve been using the Tech Inspectors.)
