Thought I'd get a conversation started here...
What obstacles have you faced (or are now facing) in your flight training? What helped you to overcome them?Perhaps by posting them here we can help each other. I'll start...
One obstacle was, finding the right instructor. In 14 hours of training I tried 4 different instructors. Then I switched again and saw a big difference in just one lesson. I really cannot identify any particular thing; I just have been progressing much faster with this instructor.
The other obstacle was, finding a plane where I could reach the pedals comfortably. I am 5'5". In the older Skyhawks the seats do not move up as much as they do in the newer ones. So I had to switch to a school that has newer planes, a 2003 model and a 2005. The aircraft rental per hour is higher at schools that have newer aircraft, but since I'm progressing faster it'll cost me less in the long run.
