I've started this blog to chart my path as I make the transition to becoming professional pilot. I hope to capture all the highs and lows, successes, setbacks and failures as I transition from a student pilot with 53hrs, to making a living as a pilot.

Studying.. more studying.. more studying!!!
Well over the last five days I haven't done much besides studying . I flew for the Navy on Thursday, and was one call for a trip for Friday -Sunday. After canceling my training for the rest of the week and this weekend I was told my Navy flight was canceled. So I decided it was ok, I'd spend the time studying. Being a self paced student its my responsibility to stay up to par on my studies. Additionally I didn't want cancel training then call it back on again.
So Friday I started studying my Jeppesen Instrument / Commercial Manual with intent of getting through the whole book.
I haven't taken the time to get thru the whole book, and all its quizzes, leaving what I felt was little holes in my knowledge. So I dug into the book after my morning work out. I kept at studying till today. I did take off for three hours on Saturday to check out some radio control planes at the club field. And unfortunately I missed out on a road trip with a buddy yesterday. Oh well I'm hoping all the studying will pay off, I want to take my written test this coming weekend and my practical test by the end of the month. I've decided that studying for the IFR rating is like getting my private pilots license again and more. However I do fell that the studying has paid off, I feel like I'm now not behind, and now I just need to find the holes in my knowledge. So now I can concentrate on flying verse having to learn and learn to fly IFR too. So now I'm looking forward to just flying, which is good because I'm scheduled for two trainers and one flight tomorrow!!
