I got a call yesterday from my new CFI.
I have decided that since this week is my final, and my FAA written I won't start scheduling flights until next week. I can't imagine how nice it's going to be when I'm out of ground school. I think I'm going to enjoy it.
This week we have looked at weather, sectional charts, and we will be doing flight planning tomorrow.
It feels freaking unbelievable.
I took a FAA private written PRACTICE test, and I passed with an 84%. Which is better than I have ever done on the FAA practice tests.
After this week, I think I'll be confident to take the test and pass with a good score.
I have found probably the best place to study around here.
There is a public library a few miles from here, towards downtown. It’s a really nice place, two story library. Generally really quiet, and air conditioned. It’s good because it takes me away from TV, my computer, and my friends here in the dorms.
I went there today and got about 3 hours of studying done. Definately a good thing, since we’re now doing weather. I hate weather. I really do. It is by far my worst subject to study ever. I find it boring, and hard to concentrate on learning it.
I only have 1 or 2 more hours of weather class time, so I’m reading and studying as much as I can.
Well, now that I’ve studied today, I’m going to the beach! 🙂
Seems we had a minor outage, unsure of the cause at this time.
Not expecting anything further.
Flight got cancelled again this morning. Thundershowers and gusty winds are the culprits today. Rita passed well south of here, but the bands that came off of her are what seem to be causing our bad weather.
My instructor has been hired with Trans States airlines, and his last day here is next Friday. He had hoped(as well as I) to get me to solo, and done with Part 1A of my Private. This doesn't seem possible with the weather delays we've been having here. He's going to try and get me set up with a new instructor as soon as possible.
I'm a little bummed about this, but I'm sure it will be nothing big.
So if I finish up ground school next week, with my written done as well, I can get a ton of flying in. I'm going to try for two lessons a day.
I can't wait to be out of this ground school!
