This week was another great week for flying. I’m still very behind due to the first couple weeks of weather however I’m starting to get back on track as I slowly make up for lost time. Monday was cancelled due to IFR ceilings and snow. Terrible start to the week given the bad weather. Wednesday …

Week of 2/3
This week was still pretty good compared to the first couple weeks of flying. Weather was good for only the days that I flew, and terrible for the other days. I feel bad for the Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday students who weren’t able to fly but I’m glad it wasn’t me. On Monday, My instructor …

Week of 1/20
This week was very informational but not very good in terms of flying. Due to MLK day on Monday, I only had 2 slots. On Wednesday, cross countries, stage checks, and check rides took priority over my slot. This meant that, despite having perfect weather, I wasn’t able to fly. Although I was sad to …

Week of 12/9
I officially passed 243! This week was the most critical week for me out of the entire semester as I had my 243 stage check. On Tuesday, my instructor and I met with another instructor and his student to do a group review for the oral portion of the 243 stage check. Overall, the review …
Week of 12/2
This week was an extremely good week for flying. I somehow managed to fly 4 times this week! On Tuesday, I did my final dual maneuvers practice. Unfortunately it didn’t go as well as I would’ve hoped. I just messed up on some of the maneuvers in really simple ways. Even though these were the …
