Slow Flight, Stalls and Spins
As an instructor, I’ve learned to love slow flight and delight in the stall. But I can still remember what it was like to feel differently, to be afraid — even though it seems like a long, long time ago. And, because stalls usually came at the end of slow flight practice, I learned to fear slow flight as well.
What compounded the fear, for me and many others, was our worries about the spin, that terrifying condition of flight that we knew nothing about because we weren’t allowed to practice them. It’s no wonder that slow flight, stalls and spins strike terror in our hearts.

Ground School Strategies
Flying isn't about filling in the squares and checking off requirements on some list. Sure, we have to meet all the requirements, and some of us use checklists for teaching as well as flying, but it all comes down to competency and professionalism. Do poorly on the airman knowledge test and you can expect the examiner to grill you during the checkride. Worse yet is Mother Nature, who, along with her old friend Murphy's Law, will see that each of us gets a thorough test of our knowledge someday when we least expect it.

Flying Lessons Are Fun! Because Learning to fly is fun!
When you decide to take flying lessons, it will change your life forever. Why? Because flying lessons will expose you to experiences that stimulate the mind and soul. This helps keep you motivated during the tough parts of flight training. When people accomplish things in life that are really meaningful (and maybe difficult) - such as learning to fly – other parts of life get better!
Why? Because it increases self esteem, our energy and our desire for life; with these three things we can do anything! Even deal with the routine parts of life.
