Training

Since I haven't had much of a chance to go out and training with a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), I have been working on my own to learn how to fly. This has been a very interesting process. One of the things that I noticed right off is how much information I have to know to fly. I have to become a weatherman, navigator, pilot, communicator, and many other things. The thought of balancing all those tasks seems daunting, but I am sure that it will become second nature over time.

I have been reading several books, including ASA's test prep book. I plan on having the knowledge of how to fly in my head before actually training, so training will be more enjoyable for me rather than feeling like I am in gradeschool and having to study every night. Something else that has helped me is AOPA. I receive the monthly magazine, Flight Training, which has alot of great articles that are very interesting to read. I also found a few websites that offer practice exams for the written knowledge test. Their links are on the left side of the blog.

Overall, I am just excited to get started and can't wait to start!
