Flying Eng Comp I - Task I.docx “I Learned About that from Flying†English Composition 1 – Task 1 XXXX XXXXX BS-Business Management, April 1, 20XX XXXX XXXX Reading and writing is not just for the school classroom. Years ago, I decided that I wanted to learn to fly a plane. What I did not know when I made that decision was flying required plenty of reading and writing about topics covering the weather, aerodynamics, radio work, and aircraft mechanics. All this happened before I would have actual flight time. It was nothing like learning to drive a car. There was so much more information to be acquired and comprehended. Just getting into a plane and flying was the least of the initial tasks required. There were also three other areas of learning to fly that came right out of a book and necessitated extensive reading, writing, studying, and exams. I realized that reading a good novel was fun, but getting into flight manuals and weather reports was a challenge worth attempting. Understanding weather reports, airplane manuals, and flight plans, together with the necessary writing skills to create flight plans, meant that reading and writing were required to be a successful pilot. My introduction to flying came in two parts. First, I did some pre-flight in class work and then I went out with an instructor to fly. Each flight lesson started with a weather briefing and a plan for the lesson in the air. This was followed by a post flight session with a report of what I did and how. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
