Inspired by others on this list I had my first flight with controls in my
hands on a C172. This was the first flight I ever had on such a small plane.
I once sat in a BN2 as a passanger but I must admit that sitting in a 10
seater, even though it was a great excitement sitting behind the co's

Hey, that's great.

The Instructor took of from EDLN runway 13 and handed the controls over to
me after reaching 1500 feet. I had about 10 minutes

should at least once try to fly a real airplane.
I wouldn't say I like to use simulators. I simply was looking for a piece
of software I could partially misuse for my own purpose. Somehow

Congratulations! Great feeling, isn't it?
I started about 6 weeks ago, in a 152, and had a very similar experience...
Didn't do any stalls on the first flight, but I was kind of shocked when he had
me do the taxiing and the takeoff by myself. (Maybe that's the difference
between an intro flight

Very true... But it's the wing load that cause your stall speed to
increase... Seat cussion load causes other problems ;)

I'm sure that it went fine. In Canada, even for the instrument

Oh, absolutely ! Thanks to all for the good wishes. You're encouraging me to
do the second step.
A 60 degree bank is one *steep* turn. For a PPL in the states, they ask
you to demonstrate steep turns, but at 45

Martin, if you decide to continue on for you PPL, I can recommend
a good ground school program in Cleared for Takeoff by King

Thanks. I'll decide how to do my trainig

Wow. Did your instructor know you had flight simulation experience? Or
