Fledgling's Pilot Powers
Note to Student Pilot: Preparing for Takeoff
Stress is a fact of life. It cannot be avoided. Not all stress is bad. Kids and adults will both experience stress throughout their lives. The five propellers will help you learn how to make stress manageable. This workbook covers three of the five propellers.
Awareness of your fuel gauge is important. This will help your fuel tanks in getting too low. Use the worksheets in to better understand your body’s signals. Try to notice how your body feels when you become overwhelmed. Yellow tank meaning your fuel gauge level is on yellow. Your tank is between 40 to 60 percent full. It is OK if your flight instructor notices your tank is at yellow and points it out. You might feel annoyed or angry when others say this to you. Remember they are trying to help you. Going from a yellow fuel tank to a green fuel tank is MUCH EASIER than going from an orange or red fuel tank to a green fuel tank!
