The darn marine layer seems to moving in for the remainder of May!! I’m not worried yet but starting to as the days tick down for my approaching flight with the designated pilot examiner (DPE) (2nd of June). I keep hoping the weather will become good enough this week so I can practice my basic maneuvers and get another cross country under my belt.
I need 22 more hours of solo cross country time before I start training with ATP so I’ll need to fly a lot before now and then. After checking the weather last night I realized that the weather would not be great today so I planned to study and do some paperwork today. Brett and I did decide last night that we’d take a flight tomorrow, to wrap up a few items and complete the remaining “hood training”, adding to the fun Brett let me know he was going to conduct a pre-check ride flight. So I have some homework today and more studying.
On the administrative side I was able to get my first class medical and FCC Restricted radio license today As luck would have it, the doctor was a former VR-57 Conquistador so that helped to make the mood light and friendly. He was able to pull a few items out of my navy medical record so that helped speed up the process. I didn’t have any reason to worry but I was a little worried about the medical. If I didn’t get that I couldn’t start with ATP!! Phew.. now I’m done with that its back to studying.
