I bought an ASA test prep book that came with the supplement, and was well printed, so that was useful.

So awesome! Can't wait to join you in the club!

Thanks, everybody. I had to get over being bummed pretty quickly, to prepare for my XC. Which was quite the adventure, by the way. For instance, when I took off from my first destination, I noticed the turn coordinator wasn't working, and the oil temp was pegged all the way down on the cold end...

Anyway, whew. SHAKE IT OFF. Because today, FINALLY, after getting skunked by weather a couple of times, I am doing my long solo cross-country. FRG-GON-BDR-FRG. SO. EXCITED.

85%. Not super happy about it. I swore when I hit "submit" at the end, I was headed for a 90%+. There are a few I missed because I just didn't remember (tri-color VASI), but there were definitely a few that were gotcha/trick questions, which i really don't see the point of. I'm a little...

Weather again! Winds, this time. Long solo cross-country NOW scheduled for Wednesday, when the weather is beautiful! But, first, TOMORROW, WRITTEN TEST! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Thanks for reading! I've got my written test scheduled for Tuesday! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

Anyway, NEW BLOG POST! "When people write about why they fly, they lean heavily on one word: freedom. This was my first taste of that freedom, and it was delicious." http://onezuludelta.com/solo-to-isp

True words. "WTF Time", I love it! I've seen a few guys flying way lower and faster than they need to, also. Little bit of a show-off factor, I'm guessing. Also, an NYPD helicopter periodically passes by way slower and lower than it needs to. I'm 99% sure they are using their fancy...

Well I'm glad to know it wasn't a fluke, and that it works for other people too! I figure you're right, the Class B won't be a problem, since I deal with D and C daily, and the approach controllers for B,C, and D too. And I will have to deal with Class B at some point, just to be able to go...

My first official cross-country (i.e. over 50 miles) flight! To...Connecticut.. And a special treat at the end of the article! #studentpilot http://onezuludelta.com/my-first-cross-country-flight

Sounds like a great area to learn. I'm at a CRAZY BUSY Class D just outside of NYC, underneath the Class B shelf, 15 miles from a Class C and 20 miles from a non-towered field. I think I am a stronger student for being in such insane airspace. I am definitely not shy on the radio (even if I did...

AAAAAAARGGGGGGGH!!!! WEATHER!!!!! *falls to knees and shakes fists at sky*

Long solo cross-country tomorrow! KFRG-KGON-KBDR-KFRG

Got nothing to do on a Friday night? Wanna read about my flying lessons at an uncontrolled airport? http://onezuludelta.com/uncontrolled-fields
