Cleared direct Gateway.

The past few days have followed the same schedule.  Basically we have met at 7am.  I flew the sim for about an hour, then the other student I am paired up with flew for another hour.  Tuesday and Wednesday we had ground class afterwards.  Our instructor went over different systems, aerodynamic characteristics, maneuvers, and checklists. 

I went home and took a nap, spent some time studying.   I was able to memorize the prodcedures for all of the maneuvers in about 2 hours while dry flying my comfy chair at Starbucks while sipping a hot chocolate.

Today we spent about a half hour each in the sim performing different maneuvers.  Then my instructor and I went up in the Seminole.  I was very impressed with the airplane.  It flew so well.  It is much quieter and smoother than the Cessna.  Though the airflow through the cabin is not as good.  Tomorrow is more of the same.  We are going to practice some engine failures in the sim then head up in the airplane.  My checkride is on Monday, so I have been doing a lot of studying.  But I feel confident that I will be ready for it.
