Today was a great example of why I'm switching to being a pilot as a career. A bad day flying is better then any day at a desk. And a great day flying is just fun! The morning was spent studying and picking up a rebate check. The check came from the owner of 57361, the plane I did 98% of my private pilot instruction in. The owner was offering a deal fly five hours and pay for four. So I took advantage of that offer, and now I'll use the rebate check to get some more aircraft instruction in different planes. I plan on getting signed off (approved to fly) on two different planes. One s so I'll be able fly with more people and the other to fly faster, thus making flying to my parents cheaper when I splurge and fly to their house vs driving.
Tomorrow, Brett and I have four hours set aside to get me signed off. I can't wait. Additionally Matt and I'll be headed to Long Beach for some more instrument approaches.
Today Matt and I headed to Hemet and back to Montgomery. The flight was designed to give me more time flying "under the hood". Overall I completed a Global Position System (GPS) approach to Hemet, then navigated my way back to Montgomery. Once near Montgomery I then was given instruction to complete an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach to 28R. Its pretty cool flying around just watching instruments and then looking up to see a runway in front when I look out.
A very educational flight, but I still have much to learn, and more skill to gain. Overall a great day of flying.
Tomorrow is set to be even better, I'll be flying for over six hours tomorrow.
Well enough for now, back to studying and early to bed.
