Progress report for Harv's Air Pilot Training/Air Cadets

Progress report for Harv's Air Cadets

July 31, 2003

Submitted by: Adam Penner

More rain delays. There is a high pressure moving into the area which will keep things clear for the next few days.

Local training flights are commencing like normal.

The pressure is mounting on these students. Their skills as pilots are already excellent. They can fly the airplane better then the average student pilot.

The thing they need is confidence. They need to change their mind set from being a "kid" or a "passenger" to being a captain of an airplane. They have to make decisions confidently, promptly, safely and correctly. They need to use the knowledge that they have learned and put it to use.

They also need to realize that flying rarely work out exactly as planed. Pilots have to be ready to go to plan B, C or even D when things change...and they always do. Encourage them to roll with the punches, don't get stressed and DEAL with it. Calm, cool, and collected.

So what we need from you is major encouragement! Either sign the guestbook, email them, fax a letter (204 326 4182), call them, or whatever! The pressure for the next 16 days will get very intense.
