The Humble Student Pilot: February 2008

http://thehumblestudentpilot.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

The Humble Student Pilot. A blog of my flight experiences and journey to attain my private pilot certificate! Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Airman Knowledge Test - 97%! I've been talking allot about my flights in this blog, but haven't mentioned ground school much. I actually started ground school before I began flying. I think it's better this way. I quickly discovered, however, many classmates had already begun flying, some had even soloed! Bottom line, flight school was intense, and certainly not easy...

During my flight training, my daughter Maggie and wife Meg would come by. They'd watch me pre-flight, and Maggie loved looking inside the airplane. "Can I go with daddie? We're going up with the birds daddie? I quickly nodded, and explained I got my PPL two weeks ago. I could tell Mike was shocked! We both always figured he'd finish before me!

The Humble Student Pilot. A blog of my flight experiences and journey to attain my private pilot certificate! Wednesday, March 11, 2009. 1 Year Anniversary Flight! It's hard for me to imagine, that it's been a year since I became a pilot. By which, I mean my first solo. I remember it was a nice calm day, with nice steady winds down 08. How exilarating it was, and how very scary! Tonight I was going up to get my night currency back in check, and I found myself with similar feelings. I took my time, enjoyi...

The Humble Student Pilot. A blog of my flight experiences and journey to attain my private pilot certificate! Sunday, January 25, 2009. I've still got it! Today, that title would mean two things: 1) The paycut our company is doing, won't happen until Feb's paycheck, so I can still afford to fly! 2)After 3wks of not flying, my landings were pretty good, with 3 of 4 being squeekers! When I arrived at PGV, they had the plane nicely tucked in the hanger! All the vitals were good, time to fly! Tim, the instru...

Well, it's certainly been a while since I last updated everyone on my flight progress! It's been frustrating at times, yet a few exuberant leaps keep me going! Sure it's really cool to solo locally, but that's not the end idea is it? After a while, when your more profficient in the flight manuevers, your anxious to actually GO somewhere!

As you can see by my updated flight hours on the right of this blog, I've FINALLY completed all of FAA Part 61 requirements. In fact the I only have 1 more hour of "review" training in preparation for my checkride. I should be feeling releaved, but I'm not. If anything I'm more stressed out than ever. So WHY am I more stressed out?

The Humble Student Pilot: So much for flying...

The Humble Student Pilot. A blog of my flight experiences and journey to attain my private pilot certificate! Monday, January 19, 2009. So much for flying. Everyone who's worked towards their PPL, know it takes allot of work, time, and money. Remove either of the two last bits, and it's not possible. It's often frustrating when that happens. Even more so, is when you do make it, and have that glorious sign-off to freedom.only to have it taken away. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). At home in the DA-20.

Several months ago, one of the instructors bought a beautifully refurbished Cessna 140. White body accented in burgandy, and very clean. Inside matched the exterior with nice red apholstry. I stare at the panel, so sparse of complex instruments! As I oohed and ahhed with the others, my head moves to the eppenage, and it's A TAILWHEEL! My eyes ...
