Well today was a great day.. looked at the weather last night and expected the weather to be good this morning and it was. So I got up early and headed to the airport around 7am, hoping to be airborne by 8am.. giving me three hours to fly before I met Brett at 11. It worked out and I lifted off at 745 headed to Hemet for some cross country time and practice. The morning weather was great, the visibility was unrestricted so it made for a great flight up to Hemet. Once there I worked the pattern and then parked over the local lake and worked on my maneuvers. After about an hour and half, I pointed the plane south headed back to Montgomery. Unfortunately the typical San Diego marine layer had blown in while I was gone. My heart rate increased, as I pondered my options. About the time I decided to go around the weather the front blew out allowing me to scout in to Montgomery. After landing I logged 2.9 more hours of cross country time!
Soon I met Brett for my grilling, we headed out for my last flight with him before my check ride. He ran me thru my paces, and was brutal. It was obvious that I’d flown in the morning as I was getting tired and hungry so my flying wasn't up to par as the lesson was finishing. Brett told me I was ready, but wanted another instructor to double check us for a final stamp of approval to look for any holes in my education before the evaluator did. So tomorrow I’m going flying with Jimmy to show him my skills! Not too bad of a day.. a total of 5.3 hrs of flight time.. I spent the remainder of the evening relaxing.. boy I’m tired.
