Hello, my name is Andrew Staheli and I am 22.

I am a student pilot at KNQA - Millington Municipal (Real world). I just discovered Flight simming recently and I love it.

 

I am wondering if anyone would like to fly with me either side by side in cockpit or seperately, I have FSnet but don't really know how to use it.

 

I am still a bit intimidated by talking on the radio, mostly because I'm not sure who to talk to and when to talk to them. I don't know all the terms, but I can get by barely.

 

I have around 2hrs flight time on vatsim, I made a cross-country from Cincinattti to Indianapolis solo and it was nerve racking because I didn't want to mess up, but ATC was very helpful to me. I arrived and made a nice, safe landing in my C172. Oh and I fly one 100% realism settings, I don't want to jip myself on the experience.

 

So if anyone wants to give me lessons, I'm up for it! Thanks. In the meantime, I will be trying to learn all I can on my own.

 

Thanks,

Andrew

 

 

edit: I am only doing VFR for the moment, I don't think I am quite ready for IFR.

Hi Andrew, check out http://pilotcerts.laartcc.org it has sample transcripts for all the v1-3 and i1-9 lessons, that will give you a gr8 idea on how to go about it. Since you are a r/w student pilot, you may already know most of it, but you can take those lessons verbatim with those transcripts and maybe it will help you alleviate some fears. Knowing what to say before saying it is for the most part what matters .

 

You should also post your availability so folks available at the same time can volunteer.

 

Good luck, and keep the blue side up!!

Cheers!!
