Decision and psychology

The seventh module of the “Small wings” course. Why the decision matters more than technique, why “like in the video” is dangerous, why steps and patience matter, which traps push you to fly, five questions before the descent, why we do not fly alone, how boredom leads to risk, and why refusing a flight is a skill.

Decision matters more than technique

In shortMany accidents on small wings do not start with bad technique, but with a bad decision: flying in gusty wind, taking a smaller wing too early, flying alone, being tired. The school teaches pilots to decide calmly: by facts, by steps, with an instructor and ready to refuse a flight.

Our school teaches safely and step by step, so that pilots keep flying into old age. Small wings are not extreme for the sake of extreme. It is a fast and beautiful sport where the head matters more than the hands.

Real-life example. A good driver is not the one who drives fast, but the one who does not have accidents. Most of the time he simply is not in a dangerous place at a dangerous time.
