Heya all,
I'll skip to the point: What is the best way to become proficient at atmospheric flight and space manoeuvres, such as docking? When I think of you guys flying, and see screnies and so on, it makes me realise that you guys must be able to fly with military precision, with skills that rival most airline pilots (hey, everyone loves flattery!). What would be the best way for a newbie, such as myself, to get that sort of skill? I figure that the best idea would be to sit down for a day during the holidays, and just do a solid days worth of taking off, docking, re-entering, landing, and so on, in a touch-and-go style that you occasionaly see trainee comercial pilots doing. Is this a good way to go about practicing, or is there a more efficient way to hammer the protocools of flight into one's brain?
