Looking To The Sky

Delay of Game

I realize it has been some time since my last update, however I assure you I am still alive and continuing to achieve my dream of earning my private pilot license. It’s just been delayed.

With my attempts of juggling work, sports, seeing friends, continuing my hobby becoming a pilot, the latter of these has taken the back seat. Not that I do not want to finish it up, but it is definitely the biggest impact to the negative cashflow in my finances. This is a problem, but one that won’t stop me from planning to finish it by the end of the summer.

Flying has to be one of the most thrilling things I’ve ever done and has brought me so much joy; studying on the other hand has the opposite effect. I know knowledge of the ins and outs of flying is important, but sitting down to study has never been a skill I’ve managed to attain. I am determined however to gain the knowledge I need and get my written exam out of the way.

In fact, other than roughly another ten hours of flying and then my practical exam, the written is all that is holding up me finishing this license.

Note to others:
If anyone wanting to become a pilot happens to be reading this, take it from personal experience that keeping up with studying, or holding off flying all together until you finish your written exam, is a financially intelligent thing to do. Probably would have saved me lots of time and money, but like me, you’ll probably rather just go flying. 🙂  (The much more fun thing to do…)

Whatever is decided, keep studying! And to make things easier, quit your job for the time, rob some banks for the money, and get in the sky!
