Day 9, Internet Problems

Sorry I haven't been able to update the site over the last 3 days or so. The WiFi Internet I was getting at my apartment as gone down (hopefully temporarily) so for now I need to use Panera Bread's WiFi service during lunch or after my long days at the airport in order to update you all on whats been going on.

Thankfully there hasn't been much to report since the last few days I have not been able to get up in the air at all due to other students ahead of me in the program needing the available instructor's attention because of their upcoming checkrides.

As for my first checkride. I've been scheduled for Friday in Alabama to do my Private Multi-Engine Land Checkride. My examiner's name is Clyde and he's an 86 year old retired NASA engineer that helped develop certain maneuvering speed mathematical equations. So to say the least, he can be very thorough during his oral exams and flight exams as well.

Tomorrow I'm scheduled to fly for only the second time and I'll be updating you guys tomorrow on how it goes. As for now I need to head back to the airport since my lunch hour is ending.
