visualization, mastering landings, training future captains

the article on visualization was very informative on the learning process and how visualization can help enhance learning.  one aspect that the article points out is that learning is judged based on the performance of peers and how we need to overcome this perception to accurately judge progress.  the article also helped open my eyes to the advantages of visualization and how running a scenario in ones head can help serve as a supplement to learning and performing the task at hand.

the article describing the perfection of landings is a great tool for learning pilots who have yet to perfect their landings.  although it basically describes things that i already know, the article served as great reinforcement for myself as well as any student i may have to pass these tips on to.  the article emphasizes consistency and stable approaches, something i want my students to learn.

the article on training future captains was my favorite article of the three i have read for this blog.  i can relate to this article because i one day hope to fly for the airlines, and any tips that i can pick up are a great help. the article describes the importance of being smooth, competent, proficient and many other characteristics that pilots should have, especially those bound for airlines or multi crew environments.  one such detail that sparked my interest was the description of crews and the duties performed as well as certain things that are just expected by crew members. it will be interesting to one day hopefully be in a situation where i have to deal with a crew.
