Grounded...

Well today was a ground school day, unfortunately there was a snafu with the scheduling of the aircraft, so my instructor went over some basics, as he helps me prep for my practical and oral test.  It was a ok day, I study alot, and my instructor has an innate ability for finding the knowledge I've forgotten or don't know. Damn!   But its good, he's doing  a great job prepping me for more a life of flying then a private pilots certificae, while making me the best pilot I can be, and I'm learning alot.

He looked over my navigation logs, that I'd completed the day before, and suggested that I switch to a Jeppenson format log. Thankfully he's a airline pilot so he knows what I'll need in the future so he's incorporating little tidbits that will help in the future, jeppenson being a good portion of my future life. So I spent some time entering my data into a navigation log that is easier to read.   After the navigation work, I spent the remainder of the evening reading the VERY boring FAR/AIM 2011: Federal Aviation Regulations/Aeronautical Information Manual (FAR/AIM series) all the info is suppose to be in the  Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot  but my instructor is having me read each section related to the private pilot. It must be a right of passage thing, why else would he torture me so.
