Flight Training - August 2021 - 32

Your trips to the airport are getting farther
and farther apart. You don't study with the
same intensity as before. And when you do
schedule a flight, you don't obsess about it
the night before or get the same giddy feeling
as you once did. What's going on?
You've lost sight of the goal. Flying is fun.
It can be thrilling, satisfying, or offer friendship
and camaraderie, but whether you fly a
Piper Cub or an Airbus, flying should always
have an element of fun and enjoyment. It's
your responsibility to keep it that way.
It's an unfortunate truth that flight
instructors are generally good at teaching
people to fly airplanes, but they are lousy
at turning people into pilots. Translation:
Learning to fly likely set you up for a lifetime
of safe adventures but gave you zero insight
into how to have those adventures. The
result is that many pilots get into a slump.
You earn the certificate, take up your friends
and family for a ride, go to a few local airport
restaurants, and then get bored.
Getting out of the slump starts with answering what can
be a deceptively hard question. Why do you fly? Is it to travel?
To have something fun to do on the weekend? To learn a new
skill? To make friends? Or, the most common, you simply always
wanted to? Likely it's a combination of those and other motivations.
Thinking back to why you signed up for lessons, and why
you committed the time and the money, is a great way to start a
plan to reinvigorate your love of flying.
From there, it's a matter of making a plan. Simply showing up
to the airport, pulling the airplane out of the hangar, or signing
your name to the rental schedule isn't going to magically reignite
your passion. You can't expect to keep doing the same things and
get a different result. Here are a few ideas that can help get you
over the hump.
MAKE FRIENDS
It's a solution so obvious you've probably overlooked it. Making
friends in aviation is perhaps the most effective way to make
flying fun and interesting. While the actual flying will hold your
interest for awhile, you'll quickly find that it's the people who
keep you coming back. Unless you're that rare truly solitary
person, connections with other people drive our experiences.
They make the activity richer, the experience more joyful. IdeFLIGHT
