Mark's Pilot Log

I've been a member of the Blue Ash Meteors for 11 years. Unfortunately, the club is dissolving, so, I started looking for a new club to join. I found Victory Aviation based at Butler County Regional Airport. They have a waiting list, so I'm back to renting for a while. Bummer.

I decided use the time to work on my Commercial license. And since I've long considered getting a Fight Instructor (CFI) license, I figured that while I'm in a learning frame of mind, I might as well go ahead and get it as soon as I finish my Commercial. That's followed by an Instrument Instructor license (CFII).

So my goal is to complete my Commercial, CFI, and CFII ratings. Just to make it interesting, I want to try to complete them all by April 8 (the anniversary of receiving my Private license in 1996).

Here's the list of milestones and when I want to complete them:

Commercial Written: February 9
Commercial Checkride: February 16
Fundamentals Of Instructing Written: March 2
Flight Instructor Written: March 9
CFI Checkride: March 16
Instrument Written: April 2
CFII Checkride: April 8

That's a lot in a short time, but it should be doable.

I took my Commercial written today and passed with a 98%. I'm a little annoyed, because I should have had a 100%. The two questions I missed were stupid mistakes. I knew the answers, but I wasn't thinking. Oh, well. At least it's out of the way.
