Basic Flying Course... 1st session

Hello...
Last Monday I had my first 'Basic Flying Course' session. It consists of a couple of lessons on basic flying, on MS Flight Simulator. It's quite good to get the basics of flying. The first session consisted of straight and level flight, turns, climbs and descents, focusing only on the attitude indicator and the power indicator (RPM). My first session wasn't so good but it wasn't so bad either. I have to adjust the throttle lever "blindly", without looking, in order to keep focused on the attitude indicator and that is where I was getting stuck. I have get the power adjusted to the correct position immediately. Hopefully it would get better with every session. I also have to be more careful on the attitude indicator, keeping the pitch at the right level.

That was probably the only 'new' thing which happened in the last few days as regards the course. I have a test on Friday, 'Radio Navigation', so I'm busy studying for it. Anyway, back to studying...
