QPT, 28.3 hours (9.5 solo)
Today was NIGHT FLIGHT! Nothing solo at night yet, but I’m going to do a solo night flight on Monday. Cross country from AFW to Sherman or Grayson County or something. I have all weekend to plan. We took off around 8:30 and headed over to Propwash. NOT TO LAND! We decided to use their…

QPT, 27 hours (9.5 solo)
The weather finally cleared, and I headed to the field today. This flight had a couple of new experiences for me. For one, I started using a different VFR navigation plan worksheet. Once I figured out that my mac was printing the duplexed part upside down (and I corrected that), it started making much more…

QPT, GROUNDED
Went to go fly this AM and I was greeted with a pretty lightning show out towards my airfield. Wait, lightning? That’s bad, right? Yeah. Not so good. So instead of being up in the air right now, I’m back at the house. I’m going to be heads down all day to get 100% caught…

QPT, 19.4 hours (4.3 solo)
Big update today. This covers two flights, one yesterday afternoon and one this morning. Yesterday afternoon we did my first cross country flight. Now before you start thinking we went to Mexico, a cross country flight is defined as a flight with a landing at an airport more than 50nm straight line distance from your…

A day late on this one too. It was a hectic day yesterday, from catching an early morning flight out of IAD to catching up on a bunch of work, to then heading out to the airfield to see the plane I reserved not parked at the hangar! Something came up, and my 4:00pm reservation…
