Well today was successful in some way and no so in others. I met Brett at 7 this morning and soon we were airborne headed out to test my skills. In theory, Brett didn't give anything that was too crazy or above my skill or knowledge level but I still struggled. A small percentage of the challenge was my unfamiliarity with the plane, but that was not the majority of the issues. After the flight we went over my weak and strong areas, he told me to relax the skills will come. On the bright side my first landing in a 172 was smooth as silk!
As luck would have it my sister and her family were in town so I spent the remainder of the day with them at the U.S.S. Midway Museum. During the visit I was able to chat with Dale regarding my flying troubles, he told me not to stress about it and take the check ride when I was ready, reminding me IFR flying if done wrong can be deadly unlike being a VFR pilot. Overall the day was educational and fun, it was fun to hang out with the nephews.
