I was learning about "attitude" the other day, which refers to the position of the aircraft in relation to the horizon, and all three axis, and I suddenly remembered a photographer friend of mine chastising me about a landscape I had photographed in PEI -- he told me to keep my horizon line straight! So, the outlook from the cockpit, if one is to achieve cruise attitude, should be like a perfectly balanced landscape photo. Ha! I CAN LEARN THIS!
One of my greatest challenges so far has been connecting all this new learning to pre-existing knowledge as I attempt to construct understanding about this incredibly foreign field. (A key reasonI decided to attempt learning to fly was because I have very limited science background, and I wanted to stretch myself a bit.) Having no schema to connect to has been a great frustration so far -- but recently I made a connection!

Welcome to Vera's Flight Brain...Here I will attempt -- hopefully not in vain -- to share my connections to previous knowledge. Or I might share a few random thoughts loosely connected to flying, too, as well as any useful resources I may stumble across in my studies.
