The fog was hanging in there, so we walked across the street Vinnies for breakfast. I had some coffee while Brian walked Charlie(a 206 owner\/pilot getting training) and I through oral preparations for our checkrides. Tristan, my instructor for the day, arrived half way through that process and added useful insights. <\/p>\n
The fog was still around after breakfast, so we headed over to the camp to complete our IACRA forms (electronic 8710s). Charlie and I entered our information and submitted them, just in time to see the sun around 11am.<\/p>\n
First order of business – Tristan and I will be passengers in the back of a float plane 182, which will practice landings on the way to Dave’s house, where the 172 was located. I can count on one hand the number of times I have ridden in the back seat, but I trusted these guys. <\/p>\n
Riding in the back while Charlie did a few landings and take-offs was not only fun, but it was a good start to my training. Dave, whose house my airplane was docked at, will be my instructor Monday morning. <\/p>\n
The plan at this point was to get me into a check-ride by Tuesday morning, so I can fly home Wednesday. No pressure though. I’m having a good time, and want this to stay fun. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
