Nervousness

Posted on February 29, 2008 @ 10:54PM

My Virtual Flight Equivalence exam is coming up. Basically, Kam swung it so I could pick up the course without having to redo the first semester. He figures I’m about as good (well, he says better, but my upbringing causes me to be humble.) as anyone else in the class. All I have to do is handle the basic theory, and then sit a practical and I’m in. Of course, I have problems with pressure and I’m afraid I’ll overthink things and slip up.


“Don’t worry,” Kam said to me,
“you’ll nail it.”
“What about the theory though?” I asked, “How can I remember all that stuff?”
“Here’s what we do.” He replied, “You study it so you’ve got a good basis, and then instead of doing stupid little memory tricks and cramming, we’ll discuss it over the comms while we fly, it’ll be total immersion, it’ll be great!”
So that’s what we did, firing questions and answers back and forth while flying, and it helped, it really helped. Kam really seems to have a knack for teaching, I wonder if he’s got any plans about maybe becoming an instructor some day.
