I lost count of numbers by now :dontknow:
Went up today again. Went through a few of the basics. Then came in and did some ground school review.
Next lesson... Check ride and solo :rock:
So any of you guys in West Palm Beach county, watch out. It will be me and only me in the plane sometime in a couple weeks.

I've been wanting to do this for as long as I can remember. Just got the kick in the butt I needed to get going.
So far I am 7 months into it. I started going every weekend, but then ended up being broke every month. I cut back to every other week. Gives me a little play money every month.
Still got a way to go. I'm at around 25 hours and usually everyone finishes for the private in about 60.
Then I will keep going for an instrument rating, and maybe a twin engine.

I would say can i go, but i don't like flying at all. A can with wings is not for me.

wonder what a flight school would say if you went in and said, "i don't care about the landings, just take off, and banked turns"?

4.5 hours later.... I am ready for solo :rock: Time and winds today didn't allow.
I feel like I got my butt kicked. The chief pilot is basically the boss. He was throwing everything at me. Of course winds were gusty and there was a bunch of turbulence so that didn't help any. He said he was taking that into consideration. :dontknow:
My instructor is gonna get a talking to im guessing. He wasn't impressed that he hasn't shown me anything about the autopilot and GPS.

Not a bag on the head, but some "special" glasses that basically block you from seeing outside the airplane, and only seeing the gauges. Did about 30 minutes of that.
