learning to fly...
Yes there is lots good advice above. Learning how to do an accurate 180 degree turn is one of the best things to do. For instance if you see an undercast in the distance and you are a new pilot, then dont get caught flying above a cloud layer unless you have a suitably equipped aircraft and you have an ifr rating. I like the old expression, "learn from the mistakes of other pilots because you wont live long enough to make them all yourself". There is so much to learn when you are a new pilot especially after you have gone solo. The other expression is "there are old pilots and bold pilots but no old bold pilots"
The comments above about flying in poor weather-low ceiling and low vis. holds true. Do not do it . Believe me it is no fun unless you have experience, it can be dangerous and it could be illegal. There are a lot of negatives above but as Clint Eastwood says , "man has got to know his limitations". In other words do your homework, study hard and fly on good weather days especially when you are first learning to fly. It is much more enjoyable this way.
The above poster is totally correct and he has never flown. If the two lites in front of you are not moving,watch out and possibly evasive action may be needed to avoid a collision!
Hope this all helps.
