Hi,
I am planning to take a break form my part 141 training. Got a baby on the way and I plan to take at least 2 months off. I just got past "stage I" from part 141 (as defined by the Jeppesen handbook), and got 50 hours of flight time, just 2h solo.
Question is what's best to focus on in the next 2-4 weeks: get all the solo's done, or get through all dual flights of stage II?
Some pros/cons for both:
- dual flights now: A lot of material that may need to be retaught after the break
- solo flights now: winter weather in Texas is unpredictable, and many solos will need to get cancelled because of strong winds.
+ dual flights now: instructors don't stay long, so I may need another instructor when I'm back
Thanks!
