Flight School: Day 18

To get a private pilot's certificate, you have to do a 100 nm solo cross-country with at least two stops and at least one leg more than 50 nm, so that's what I did yesterday morning. I went from Brooksville (already did that twice, so it was no problem) to Wachula (the only new leg of the journey) and back (did that the day before). On the way to Brooksville there were three planes all from the same school flying in formation and arguing about who's landing where and when. Of course, I was the only solo flyer among them, the other two had instructors, so they probably saw my mistakes and relayed them. Oh well. There's never anyone at Wachula, so that's never exciting.

Later I did a mock FAA Flight exam, which went pretty well except for the bad weather that built up that made us stop earlier than expected.

Checkride is scheduled for Monday, exactly 21 days since I started, exactly on schedule.
