On the Schedule

I finally called the Chief Flight Instructor and had him assign me a new flight instructor. I am scheduled to fly Friday afternoon as long as the weather holds up. I am just planning on running through all the commercial stuff and getting some feedback from my new instructor. Hopefully just a couple of flights will be all that is needed and then I can take the checkride then start on my CFI. Saturday I fly out for Washington DC to spend five days there on a business trip. I get back on Thursday evening then fly out again on Friday afternoon for Branson MO to visit family over Memorial Day. Once back from that trip I have a free weekend that will most likely be spent packing getting ready to move to a new apartment. We move on June 7, after that date my calendar clears up a bit and I should be able to do more flying or studying depending on where I am at that time. Till next time, keep the greasy side down...

I received my private pilot certificate in August 2000 while in college, and graduated in 2003 with a B.S. in Computer Science. I was a Software Engineer for a Medical Software company for 5 years and during that time I continued my training and received my Instrument and Multi Engine Commercial certificates. I am now taking a new route to pursue my flying career. I am going to Officer Candidate School for the U.S. Coast Guard. Once finished with that I will apply for flight school and hopefully be on my way to living my dream. Please follow along as I continue my journey...
