Well, it may feel like my hands and feet aren't there with me for the first few weeks or so but I'm still pretty excited!
Got some questions for those of you who have gone through the program or are there now:
1. I'm adding my planned schedule for the commercial aviation program below. I don't need any other gen. ed.'s other than 1 class that I'll squeeze somewhere in there but does the sequence of courses seem sensible? or out or sync? Am I underestimating any class? I think it's doable, but let me know your thoughts. I'll exhaust my GI Bill benefits so I'm trying to keep it as consolidated as possible.
2. Flight labs - For my 102 flight lab, when I sign up for a MWF or TTS slot, will those be the ONLY times I can go flying? Will I get assigned an instructor and fly with him/her every time? I want a MWF late morning slot but I have my 100 class during that time on Fridays. it possible to where I can do a MW and Sat flight lab schedule? If not, I have the choice of first lab of the day MWF or last lab of the day MWF, which brings me to my next question..
3. Weather - is it better to schedule flight labs super early in the day because the winds start picking up later in the morning? Or is that not a factor?
4. Having a car - Is it necessary? Looks like there's a shuttle that goes back and forth between the airport and campus. I'm planning to sell my car before I go there and don't really want to have to buy one right away.
5. Campus Apartments - I'm on the waiting list for a campus apartment at the moment, are they decent? I'm really hoping to avoid the Craigslist hustle.
My planned sequence (#'s before class are prereq's, #'s after are how many units)
