Just so you know, I passed the Private Pilot check ride.  So now its time to kick back tonight and party. My instructor told me to do so. Its actually hard for me to believe that I am a pilot, and I can carry passengers. Its great!

Anyway I will post as I continue with the program.

Well I did my solo finally, actually did it earlier this week. It was very fun and it made me feel more comfortable with the airplane. I have done 3 cross country flights by myself to vero beach melbourne and back to daytona. I will do one more tomorrow, and then my check ride is on Thursday of this week. So wish me luck. I posted some pictures from a cross country I did today.



Preparing for my solo.

Sorry I havent had much to say lately. I had a 12 day gap where I did not fly at all, due to weather, and some scheduling issues. However I started back on Wednesdays and my flight went great, and I managed not to forget everything lol.

Pretty much at this point my instructor and I are working on entering uncontrolled airports, meaning airports without a control tower, and just making me feel comfortable with the traffic pattern. Cause I probably wont always be landing and taking off from the same place *wink wink*.

My solo will consist of me being capable to fly the chief instructor to Flagler airport, dropping him off, and then doing 3 full stop landings & take offs. Then we will fly back home, and hopefully he will tell my instructor what a great instructor he is.

I will let you know how this goes, I am currently studying for a pre-solo written exam, and will take my solo flight on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
