And here I thought i'd have my private pilot certificate two years ago haha.I had to stop flying for a month and a half after I finishd my first year of college because my instructor got hired by Colgan.Good for him, bad for me. Needless to say I have had a new instructor for the past week and I am making a lot of progress with him. What's even better? He's here for at least a year because he signed a contract.So today I was supposed to fly solo from Brookhaven(KHWV) to Gabreski ( KFOK) to practice full stop's and taxi backs in a controlled airport Didn't happen from weather)hope 2morrows better. . I am also supposed to do my first three legged cross country before I do my 2 legged solo XC(don't know when that will be). The flight is from Brookhaven>Poughkeepsie>Hartford and back. The first leg i'm soloely using VORS (Calverton,Bridgeport,Carmel,and Kingston). Anyway, I am hoping to get my private by the end of the summer before I go back to college so when I return, I can work on my instrument. I think three flights a week should be plently.
