Just passed my ifr checkride. It was crazy. Glad it is over. Been having fun now out of the foggles and actually enjoying the clouds. It does really make you a better pilot to get that done. Keep it up all!

Damn! My instructor canceled on me today. He is sick.
This was going to be my first lesson in the DA 40. After a four-year hiatus from flying.
Definitely!Well I can still go to the airport and watch airplanes...
First flight of my reentry into aviation today.
Went well. My basic airmanship isn't too bad, although I will need to work on landings some.
Need to get used to the differential braking steering system on the airplane.
Here is a pic after we got back on the ground.
Bring a crappy shirt and have fun!I'm pretty sure I'm soloing on Tuesday. Any last words of advise?

Thanks for all of the advise guys! I appreciate the humor. I feel like I'll need it.
My school has a tradition that you must wear the cut shirt to at least one public place before going home. Because, you know, you did alot to earn that shirt.
My CFI doesn't cut shirts.

Long afternoon Wednesday. TOA to SBD to F70 and back. Practice run with my CFI for my XC solo work (already did the practice run to CRQ) Used Flight Following for some of it, plain old VFR nav between SBD and F70 to avoid the Charlie for March and Ontario. Saw one of Boeing's test bed 787's land at SBD (funny - I work for a Cat X airport and still love watching the big boys play). F70 was my first experience with Unicom. Lots of haze and smog heading back to TOA - but overall 4-1/2 hours of pure fun
Congratulations!Passed the Commercial ASEL checkride today!

Thanks! Here is the link to my write upAwesome! Congratulations! You are where I want to be someday. Hopefully you can do a write-up for us in another thread!
Checkride is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 12th. Supposed to receive all the fine details from my instructor in the next day or two.
My cross country plan will be from KSET to KPWK, and I'm crossing my fingers.
First post on here, it's nice to find a forum with a laid back helpful attitude. I just started training a little over a month ago out of CRQ. Nice to see some other people from San Diego on here. Hit the 15 hour mark a couple days ago, and have been flying about 3-4 days a week so that should be going up pretty quick.
Passed the written already and have been working on landings lately. I'm still not terribly confident in them, but at least I'm consistently making the same mistakes so I know what to concentrate on (flaring too early).
Just took my first flight to other airports on Monday, RNM and MYF, and made a ton of rookie mistakes, but mostly due to not being able to gauge time and distance very well yet. I'm used to Ramona being kinda far away....not so much in a plane!
