Week 6 (11/1-4) - Re-check
I had Thursday off. I relaxed at home for a bit and got somethings done that I needed to do. Friday I went out to school and flew with my instructor for an hour to practice some engine failures. We determined that I would be fine as long as I went through the checklist and not try and race through it from memory.
The recheck was Saturday afternoon. It was a short flight, only 1.0. It was exactly as he said it would be. We went down to Coolidge, shot the approach single engine, I feathered it perfectly and we headed back for Gateway.
I was pretty relieved to get the ride over with. As I started to drive home, I realized I could fly an airplane without looking out the window. It’s pretty crazy when you think about it. I mean you obviously need to look for traffic, but if I were flying through clouds, at night, I could get to where I want to go. How cool is that?
Today I went in and started my CRM training so I can begin cross-countries on Wednesday. That should be exciting.
