Hey guys, I am going flying tomorrow morning in a Piper Cherokee or Warrior.

Do you have any tips?

It will be my first time in a PAC.

Just enjoy the flight! Oh and if you get to fly just be sure to take your hands off the controls if the pilot asks.

You guys are to much. Razz

Taking pictures sounds like a good idea.

Hmmm, I will be sitting co-pilot so flying a little bit could possibly happen.

And the taking my hand off the controls if the pilot asks, sounds like a good idea.

Got any more? So far all have been good or funny.

Push stick forward trees get bigger.

Pull stick back trees get smaller, unless you hold the stick back too long and the trees get bigger again.

I'd probably recommend you hold off going upside down until at least your second flight.

I'd hold off going inverted in a piper warrior. Carburetors don't respond well to being upside down. Big Grin

and just remember....

a great landing is when you can fly the airplane again the same day

a good landing is when you have to have a mechanic look at it before you fly again

I learned to fly on Warriors back in the 1970's

Keep the green on the bottom and the blue on top

Eat bananas just incase. They taste just as good coming up as they do gong down.

Bring sunglasses and camera
