ALMOST THERE! So much so that I’m scheduled to do my checkride TOMORROW! WOH! So I did my oral prep, and now have my study materials to do this thing tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Checked out on the Sport Star! Now all I need is to do the checkride. Today was pretty light, just flew up to Denton and hung around that airport for a while. I also finished my instrument requirements, so that is now out of the way. We did a little porpoise like maneuver that put…

Just got back at my desk from a quick trip out to San Francisco and I realized, I FORGOT to tell you about my flight yesterday AM! I took out the same plane I did my night flight in (N80508) and went over to Alliance to do more touch & gos. Why do we continue…

Getting close now! I just finished my night cross country! It was AWESOME! I think navigating at night is actually easier if you are familiar with landmarks or study the map. I did have the GPS backing me up (I would not have done it solo if I didn’t), but I saw the destination airport…

It was very weird flying that way, but it got REALLY weird was when we practiced something called unusual attitudes. This is essentially prep work for my checkride…

Made up for yesterday’s puny .4 hours today with 1.6! I just spent the time over at Alliance. Logged 15 landings!!! Really starting to get the feel and finesse of those. I am sure I will still have the occasional carrier landing, but hoping that I’m getting the hang of just having the tires kiss…

.4 hours? That’s it? Yeah… more weather. That same low level trough that has been sitting over Oklahoma has been kicking up storms around here for the latter part of the week. Before I left, everything was south and west, and moving to the north west. Then when I got there, a cell popped up…
