Tests, tests, and more tests...

As of yesterday, I finally completed all necessary written exams required by the FAA before attempting oral and flight practical tests for all of the certificates I'll be trying to attain at ATP.

I was told by many previous successful ATP grads, that knocking out any or all of these 5 exams (Instrument Airplane, Instrument Instructor, Commercial Airplane, Fundamentals of Instructing, and Flight Instructor Airplane) will help to alleviate stress and study time while at ATP for the 3 months.

I was able to attain a 92%, 98%, 98%, 98%, and 97% respectively on the above listed exams and I'm excited to have a little free time left before my start date at ATP. I plan on using the time to study up on the Piper Seminole Flight Manual as well as prepare for my first hurdle once arriving at ATP. The first test will be to get my Multi-Engine Airplane certificate by passing an Oral Exam and an in-flight Practical Test with an FAA examiner.

More to come...

  2. Thank you for the compliments! I've always felt that I could only truly excel at something in life if I had, not only a simple interest, but a passion for what it was I was doing. Of course flying is one of those passions and at a time when most rational people would be scared about the future (definitely too scared to change careers) I'm ironically excited about the upcoming year and what opportunities may come my way while flying.
