I'm in the US Air Force and I fly. When I am in the classroom and workin on the communications console, I know what I'm doing and I can do it fine, but when I get on the jet, I get so nervous and second guess myself, even though what I was doing was RIGHT!
I put alot of pressure on myself just because I have two more flights until my final eval, so I think thats why I'm nervous. I'm not stressing about it as bad, even though I already flew my sixth ride two times and didn't pass it!! I'm learning to keep my nerves down, and just do the job, but I'm still so afraid that I'm going to freeze when I get on the jet.
When I talk to my friends about it, they say, "You'll do fine, you know your job." But I still don't believe it.
Another person told me that with my job, we have to be really cocky. A pilot can't say, "I think I'm going to land the plane." He has to say, "I'm going to land the plane." So I should therefore say, "I'm going to do my job." So maybe my attitude needs to be more cocky...
