Day 17, Bad Weather = More Simulator and Ground

Well today I should be receiving my Jeppesen Instrument Plates. Basically they are huge leather bound books with every single type of instrument approach for every airport that has atleast one instrument approach in the country. Fortunately ATP won't be giving me every single region of the US but I will still be getting more than I'll ever need while at ATP.

Bad weather lately (should be sunny tomorrow) has postponed my day/night cross country flight I'm supposed to do with my instructor right after I passed my Private Multi-Engine Checkride. So hopefully tomorrow I can plan on that happening. My instructor and I will probably leave for Alabama (again) around 3pm and land around 5pm, eat dinner near the airport, then takeoff to head back to Atlanta around 7pm and be back no earlier than 9pm or so.

Today, since the weather is poor, I'll be working on instrument approaches for the first time in the simulator and probably doing some more ground school. Lots of stuff to memorize... That's the theme for the entire course. Memorizing things won't end until I've finally finished the program with my 3 Flight Instructor Ratings.

Hope to have more for you guys tomorrow evening since the weather will be better.

  2. Great you have the instruments to do the approach that way. And, great you know how to do it w/out the instruments.
    Glad God is your co-pilot.
    Love;
