  • Completed My First Biennial Flight Review

    Once you obtain your pilots license, you have it forever.  There are some requirements however that need to be done in order to keep flying.  One of those requirements is the Biennial Flight Review, and I was able to get it done in just the nick of time.

  • Side Slips, Steep Turns, and Stalls

    Yesterday evening, I met up with my instructor at 6:30 to do some ground followed by a flight. The ground was a good session going over a number of topics I need to memorize and work on. After a flight prep, we were off.

  • Getting Better

    Flight number two after getting back into things.  The flight today started pretty smooth with a great flight prep, and take-off, however I realized pretty soon after that I was quite rusty.

  • Back In The Saddle

    After making the plan to finish my pilots license around a month ago, I finally had my first flight.  Yeah, it has been quite a while since my last flight (September 17, 2013), however for it being so long, I flew quite well.

  • Tillamook 50nm+ Solo Cross Country

    Friday afternoon I had one of the most amazing flights to date.  This flight was also an important one as it was my first solo 50nm+ flight to a brand new airport.  I’ve never flown to Tillamook Airport (KTMK)(or the coast for that matter), but had my opportunity to do so.  It was beautiful!

  • VOR Navigation To Scappoose

    Today I took off from Portland area planning to go on a long flight around Portland airport, but instead, due to Aurora State being IFR conditions, I flew the first leg of my flight and returned.
