Time Management

Once again I'm afraid I will have to start my post with an apology. These last few weeks have been crazy and the workload keeps piling. So I'm sorry it has taken this long to post. There are about two weeks left in the semester and I'm finding that all of my work is catching up to me. Papers have been assigned and finals need to be studied for. But most important of all, I have my FAA written exam and checkride fast approaching.

I have been studying for both like a madman, whilst juggling all of my other school work. I have also been progressing through Stage 4, the final stage, quite quickly. My first night flight was Monday, and I had a night cross country last night to Wichita. It was my first time flying into class C airspace and what and experience! On approach the tower told us to keep our speed up, as a Learjet was on final behind us. So we flew the approach right below the yellow arc at 120 knots. Fortunately Wichita's runway is long enough we didn't need to worry about our ground roll distance, so speed wasn't a critical factor.

I have another night cross country tonight with a local solo tomorrow. I am working on polishing up my maneuvers and cross wind landings so they are in tip top shape for my checkride. I must admit I'm quite nervous. But I might as well get used to it, since I know I'll have many more to come!
