Cleared for Takeoff
My IFR is taking me much longer than expected due to winter weather in the NE, and that my original CFII was basically transition over to a full time charter job, and I was finally forced to switch instructors. So after lessons for three weeks in a row, after about 2 months with limited flying, things are starting to click again. A few observations.
1. Wow on day one was I rusty. Make me wonder how you can stay safe by doing the minimum currency requirements.
2. Any suggestions on keeping altitude? My biggest problems seems to be drifting slightly below my floor. Which is about the worst thing you can do, I am well aware.
3. Interesting to see what the different instructors emphasize. The new instructor loves to stress the redundant systems, even when the primary ones are working just fine (or in training situations not blocked).
4. Experienced my first get in line but keep you speed up. That was fun.
Well, I have about 5 hours of hood time left. Need to pass the written (yeah I kinda let that slide with all the hiccups). And need to find about 15 more hours of solo PIC time.
