Week of 11/18
Unfortunately, this week was a reversion from the previous week. I wasn’t able to fly this week. I did, however, begin to review with my instructor for the stage check I have in the next coming weeks. On Tuesday, my flight was cancelled due to weather and instead we had a discussion over important topics …
Week of 11/11
This week was a complete 180 from my previous week posts about having to cancel all of my Cross Country’s and never getting a plane. I was able to fly all 3 times this week (I know right – shocking!). On Tuesday, I did my “short” solo XC to Bloomington, Indiana (KBMI) to Mattoon, Illinois …
Week of 11/4
This week was a little more eventful than last week, but the same issues plagued me throughout. Luckily, I was able to fly once this week but none of the 4 cross countries I planned worked out. On Tuesday, my solo XC to South Bend was cancelled due to the wind being out of limits …
Week of 10/28
Unfortunately, this is gonna be a short blog post. The main reason that I wasn’t able to fly once this week. Luckily, it was due to the weather and not our fleet. On Tuesday, I originally planned a Cross Country from LAF to South Bend (KSBN) and then to Marion, Indiana (KMZZ, ya I’m not …
Week of 10/21
This week, flying again remained relatively dull. Continuing the theme of the the last month, the Cirrus’ maintenance needs are gonna be the death of me. Once again, I was only able to fly once this week due to weather and SR-20 maintenance schedule. On Tuesday, the weather, with high winds and low clouds, was …
Week of 10/14
This week, flying continued to be strenuous as the planes still remained down for maintenance. Again, I was only able to fly once this week. Tuesday, my flight was cancelled due to IFR conditions in LAF. My instructor and I did our final discussion and longest, the systems discussion. We basically went through a powerpoint …
Week of 10/7
This flying week was very mild and nothing eventful really happened. Unfortunately I was only able to fly once this week due to several factors. My Tuesday flight slot was cancelled due to my previously mentioned trip to New York for Purdue’s fall break. My Thursday flight went according to plan. Originally, I wasn’t supposed …
Week of 9/30
Due to my unchanging academic schedule and workload, I will begin to omit my academic recap of the week in future blog posts. This week for flying has had many ups and downs. I was only able to fly once this week due to our screwed fleet and my travel plans. On Tuesday, a lot …
Week of 9/23
This week, my classes actually got easier. I’m not sure what the switch was between this week and last week but I have zero homework this weekend. Other than that, like usual, my classes haven’t changed. Flying was a little cramped due to not only the weather, but the status of Purdue’s aircraft. My first …
