To all studs or wings.
My problem is not knowledge, or even the finer points of flying the t-34, my problem is BAW and SA due to being tense in the cockpit.
The stress/ being tense makes me forget the most obvious and easy things, and at times I white knuckle the stick (without realizing it, straight and level normal climbs. descents/ and turns I am fingertips, but pattern, landing and maneuvers I create my own problems on the stick). This is hurting my performance.
I have talked to all the right people, and now pose my problem to you all. Its hard to "relax" when your faced with DONT FAIL!!! RELAX!!! DONT FAIL!!! RELAX!!! and its hard to have confidence when you keep screwing up. I’m not the only one that has BAW SA problems but I am too tense, and don’t know how to fix it.
Even this morning just a random stud I have never met before was like, damn man you look tense, I was just sitting there. I usually don’t even feel nervous or tense at all, but more than one instructor (and random stud) has pointed it out. Short of asking the doc for some medicinal pot, any suggestions?
