new CFI

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 t… more »

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… more »

library

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… more »

weather

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 Sta… more »

second test

Down the hatch! This second test was a little more complicated than the first. The subject matter a little more in depth than the first, and questions that required some work to complete. I finished with an 88, after missing 6 questions. Overall… more »

first flight!

Well I had my first Vero Beach flight today. It wasn't a lesson, but more of an introduction to the area, the different practice areas, and some of the procedures here. We went around the area, and pretty much did a big circle around the airport, and… more »

First test

I have taken and passed my first written test in Private ground school. This isn't the FAA written, just a small portion of questions on aerodynamics, systems, and FAR's. I didn't pass with as good of a score as I thought I would have. Which indicates I… more »
