Sorry it's been a couple days since I've updated the site... It's been a long couple of days. Ever since the 6.6hr trip to Raleigh, NC we've been cramming ground, simulator, and flying in before my checkride on Monday. As of right now I'm the only guy who's kept his initially scheduled checkride date. Yash, a guy who started a week before Jerry and I, has fallen back from having his checkride scheduled on the 10th to the 16th with me now. Jerry has also moved back and is indefinite right now on when he'll be ready for his. Needless to say there is alot of pressure to stay on pace... Actually the typical days alloted for an ATP student to go through his/her instrument phase is 27 days. The 16th, this Monday, would mark my 23rd day so I'm actually going faster than the already blazing pace. I hope that fact does not come back to bite me during my checkride. I have one more long day of flying left before my checkride. It'll take about 6 hours and should be on Saturday or Sunday. Yesterday I flew twice, once in the early afternoon, and then again in the evening. First flight was more training in IFR, shot three separate approaches into three different airports. Then the evening flight was actually to fulfill a commercial rating prerequisite. We flew over to Fulton Co. and conducted 10 night full stop takeoffs and landings at towered airport. Good news for you supersticious folks, it's Friday the 13th and I'm not flying.

Glad to hear that you are doing well and still scheduled for Monday; this means that you must be ready and we know that you'll do a fantastic. Keep up the good job! Take good care, eat well and get enough rest before your big day Monday! Fine landing! :-) L- M & D
ReplyDeleteGreat landing. Its really nice to see the runway from the pilot's point of view. I know you will do fine on Monday. The reason is because you have found your passion. Its not a job at all when you find what you really want to do in life.

I agree with your Tio, loving what you do takes the "work" out of the job. It's great to feel like you're getting paid to do your hobby.
ReplyDeleteBest of everything to you;
