Line Up and Wait
Hey all,
I don't post much here anymore but I still read the posts on POA forum, but wanted to give you an update on my flight training.
I've been a member of my local EAA chapter for a couple years now and gone on some flyouts.
I even introduced a friend who was not into aviation to my local chapter and she participated in some flyouts as a passenger. Now she is discussing flight school in the future!
These events encouraged me to get back into the cockpit and restart training.
So last January, I decided to continue my sport pilot training and found a local flight school in my area that has sport pilot.
I took a discovery flight with them, forgotten how much I missed it and still had the bug. Decided then and there to restart training.
I try to fly 2 or 3 times per week or at least 6 to 8 times per month with some lessons cancelled due to weather. Sometimes I scheduled lessons before I head straight to work. I have been working on landings for the vast majority of my presolo training.
I gotten a new student pilot certificate (the permanent card since my paper certificate expired long ago), passed my sport pilot written test last month, and just a couple days ago I finally had my first solo flight! Been waiting forever for that moment!
Next phase includes more solo flying, solo cross country, and hopefully preparing for the checkride later this summer!
