Almost finished!
I’ve been doing UND’s Private pilot review course and tomorrow I have my last lesson. Well actually I’m finishing up my stage check, which I started on Sunday. We had a late launch and didn’t have enough time to finish. The stage check is basically the same as the PPL check ride, pass or fail. I think if I failed it I would feel pretty goofy. I have had my private license for over a year, and while it’s been good to review the manuvers I think that the amount of flying they have made us (Test Course students) do has been a little excessive. My skills haven’t improved that much, but I guess I have some more experience under my belt which is always good. Anyway, the “review” course has cost me over 4500 dollars, which I guess is actually average, or maybe slightly above average for people doing that course. I’m pretty glad I will be done with the course soon, but it will be a bummer to not be flying all the time! I will have to wait until January. When I get back home in December I will go up a few times I think.
