Don't worry. They grow out of it.

When they're 45.

They cry when they're hot, cold, itchy, hungry, tired, wet, bored, etc. You're never going to figure it out all the time.

If my daughter is clean, fed, and starts to cry after I've been playing with her I'll pick her up and walk around the house a bit. If she doesn't calm down I usually just try to soothe her and get her to sleep. Nothing else you can really do.

On my 4th solo flight I literally wrestled to control the airplane due to an unexpected gust/crosswind. Had to initiate go around procedure twice. Airspeed, altitude literally went wild. They cancelled the solo flights for the remaining part of the day.

I was soaked wet after I was able to land the plane. Apparently the scene from Airplane movie was rather accurate.

On the ground the instructors congratulated me for not losing cool, and not insisting on landing when the conditions weren’t optimal. Go around is no biggie, but the “will I be able to land next time?” Question is the difficult part to deal with.

I should be thankful for the experience but man...

Man I've been there - that gut instinct of "I'm not making this one" hits at the last second.

I had a FAIL once when my alternator belt blew out but I did not know it, so all my avionics were running off battery. A little red flag pops up on, I want to say the yaw indicator, but I was just doing touch-n-goes and was feeling complacent (big bad on me). Well, after the fifth or so touch and go I lose contact with tower as I'm taxiing to the runway and a loud buzzer starts going off. That's when I noticed my fuck-up. I basically had to switch my squak to "can't hear ya" and taxi away scared shitless because I had no one to tell me if anyone was coming/going on the runway. Thankfully it was a pretty dead day (I was the only flyer). The folks at the hangar were none too pleased, though. Learned my lesson!

Exactly, it is the lizard brain making you go around when you are so close to touchdown. Even from outside everything looks ok but you just full throttle as a split second decision and go.

Best friend (pretty much my brother) died of an overdose yesterday. One of the smartest people you'd ever meet. Just was never comfortable being sober. Everybody tried to help, but you cant help someone if they don't want it. We grew up together until college. He started getting into opiates, but we still talked on the phone a bit and would meet up once a month or so to catch up. He always seemed fine, but he was one of those people who could manipulate everything you see about him. He was in and out of rehab a few times. Still processing it. It definitely sucks though and I'm really angry.
