Time Flys When You Can't See...

I went out to the Airport this morning to finish up the last 1.4 hours of Instrument training needed.

It was a great Flight, we got up above the Scattered Layer of Cumulus Clouds and were cruising at 3,000ft. Once, we took off we headed to the PSX VOR. At first I had a bit of trouble holding my Heading and Altitude but got better as time went on. After getting a FR reading on the VOR we turned and maintained a heading of North. After flying north for a bit, we did a few Standard Rate Turns. Once we did a few of those, we did Unusual Attitudes. Those went fine. After that we turned to a heading of 150 to intercept the 054 Radial outbound of the PSX VOR (Leads you right to Runway 31 at BYY). Once back at the Airport, we found we had a 10kt Cross Wind from 020. The landing was fine, just a bit off center despite Slipping the Plane.

I logged 1.1 Hours, making my total come to 47.3 Hours logged.

Now the only thing standing in my way of the Checkride is my Written Test. So I'm going to focus on studying for the Written for a few weeks while my CFI will be out of town. Once I get that knocked out, CHECKRIDE HERE I COME!!!
