Well last Friday marked my 75th day through the program and I passed my Instrument Instructor checkride with Mr. Clyde Shelton over in Madison Co. Alabama. Sorry I started to slip with keeping everyone up to date on my progress but ever since started my cross country phase back in late Feb. the pace was definitely ramped up. As of today my last checkride for the entire 90 day program is scheduled for this Thursday, the 2nd of April. I have completed all of my flying in the multi engine Seminole and tallied up 140 multi engine hours while here. Now I jump back in the single engine Cessna and will fly her for about 8 hours total before all is said and done. Thursday I will be conducting both my single engine commercial and my single engine instructor checkrides together. Having not flown in a Cessna in quite some time I'm a little cocerned about how easily I'll be able to transition back to the lighter and smaller plane.
I'm set to complete the 90 day course in 81 days total. Apparently thats pretty fast compared to most guys... unfortunately I don't believe finishing any earlier gets be any benefits with securing an instructing job with ATP. I've been trying my best with the little time I've had to research and apply to flight schools from TN down to FL and westward through to Arizona. No dice yet... Anyone wanna learn how to fly?
I'll let you know how the last checkride goes on Thursday and I'll be back in Knoxville after Thursday.
