back to work

Had my 4th Contact flight today and it was a good one. It was a little different since the wind was favoring 31 today, which isn't used very often - almost never in the summer. I went up with a different IP and he was another very helpful, easy to talk to instructor and it went well. I have to say I'v been pretty fortunate thus far with my IP's. They've got me going up again tomorrow and then again on Wednesday. I think I was one of the last to still feel sick in the plane so they've got me going up a lot to help get over it and I think it's working, it's also got me ahead of the class which isn't a bad thing at all. 

We also had our first Standup EP today and Emergency Procedure Quiz. The former is where they stand up one of the students and have them "fly" the plane orally and they introduce some kind of emergency indications and you have to fly the plane through the situation to a safe conclusion. It can be a bit nerve-racking. The latter is a quiz on different aircraft systems stuff. It was a lot harder than I expected so I wasn't too happy about that. There's some kind of maximum number you can fail, and if you fail one you have retake it and pass it before you fly again. Hopefully I passed but not a huge deal if I didn't, it's nice to not be "competing".

For now... try and study with the eagles/cowboys in the background :) Go Birds
