Simulator Time (Flights 2 & 3)

Dates: 7/7 & 7/11/09
Flight Hours this session: 1.8
Cumulative Hours:             2.6

The school I'm using for flight training believes in the use of a Cessna 172 simulator for familiarity purposes.  During my two sessions, we worked on communications, taxiing, takeoff and the four fundamentals(climb, descent, turns, straight/level).  

All my years of flying the Microsoft Flight Simulator seem to have paid off.  I have done a good job with the four fundamentals, as well as taxi and takeoff.  To spice it up, Nick had me do a landing in the simulator.  He said that he was not a fan of simulator landings as they are harder in the simulator than they are in real life.  I hope that's the case because I was able to set the plane down with no control inputs from my instructor.  

Nick says I am progressing really fast and that I should sail through my training.  I just hope that's not wishful thinking on his part.
