ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Learner emotional reactions, including: a. Anxiety and stress

Bottom line

Anxiety is probably the most significant psychological factor affecting flight instruction. Learners who are worried or emotionally upset are not ready to learn and derive little benefit from instruction. Anxiety can be countered by reinforcing the learners’ enjoyment of flying and by teaching them to cope with their fears.
