    I have David Clarks. Never gave any thought to headset connecting to my issue.

    I think the loss of control thing is real for me. Air sickness, even though I don’t think I have it , could be a subconscious thing. Can’t hurt to try the band. Thanks for the tip.

    Updating this thread… (feedback has been super helpful) added another 1.5 hours today s weather hasn’t cooperated. Nor has life. 10 kts winds and rolling ocean fog which caused me and my CFI to be aware. I noticed my “anxiety” shifted. It built once we got cleared to take off, during rotation...

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    I decided to get a Wallbox set up at home. My set up is a dedicated 60 amp level 2, 240v. I am also adding a load management system. Mainly for convenience.

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    Here are my early two cents on my new Tesla… I got super lucky to find a new Model S and get in in a week. Person who ordered isn’t like the color combo (Blue with Cream interior) so I quickly put $250 down to reserve and take a look at the car. (Plus I got offered a filthy amount for my 8cyl...

    The fear is driving me…

    This is exactly what I am trying to understand and determine. Yes, I have a fear and utter dislike of "drops", more the unexpected. I can "deal" with expected drops much much better. That being said, I worry it will happen - again, less and less. To your point, I need to determine if it is...

    100% my thinking. I have 5 hours of carefully planned early flying. That isn't nearly enough sample size. My next one is scheduled for afternoon. I will know once I get bumpy if it isn't for me and save time, money and disappointment.

    Tom, I would 100% agree with your comments and opinion as well. For me, scientific or not, it is helpful in the sense that as I try to "rationalize" my issues having a different point of view helps me look at this in a different way. I would also venture to say others like myself will find it...

    Thank you for this. To me, this is both fascinating and informative. I will hear with my CFI in case she is not aware of it.

    Interesting strategy. Although not as volatile, my mind feels it is much worse I suppose. I still won’t go on a rollecoaster with my family. just saying. LOL

    The fear is driving me…

    Zero fear of structural failure. Its the feeling of dropping, and the fear of waiting for it to happen. Totally psychological, I probably need some hypnosis or something. I hate the feeling and fear it.... sometimes it happens, sometimes not. But I fear and have anxiety.

    I live in Southern NJ, and thats the hope...eventually I'll hit worse and by then be more comfortable. This has been helpful hearing all this feedback.

    The fear is driving me…

    No, I am not flying in anything like that. Yet. Just the typical bumps with a little extra when heading back. Definitely nothing out of the ordinary, but enough for me to fear the unexpected and the feeling I will get. As you said, I am moving on hoping practice and control will make a big...

    The fear is driving me…

    I’m a knowledge and process driven person. Knowledge helps me finally go into something (I watched Disney Test track videos till I knew what I was getting into stepped in line, with clammy hands. After one ride, went on it 10 more times) Before I expect to get rid of this “issue”, i need to...

    The fear is driving me…

    My problem is hard unexpected jolts and the up, mainly down, feeling I get. And I fear, dislike and worry about it. Much like when I’m a passenger in a car going up and down a hill, when I am behind the wheel the anxiety is dramatically reduced. Perhaps the in control factor and knowledge of...
