Who's The Blonde Stranger? A blog about my progress toward obtaining my Private Pilots's Certificate and all things aviation. Sunday, July 16, 2006. I came across this site. Tonight while browsing the web. It is a free on-line flight logger. It seems like a great way to keep a backup of your paper log. I will post a further review once I have used it for a while.

Google Earth Blog: Go Flying - Flight Tracklogs for Google Earth. After seeing how cool the small sectional maps on the Winging IT. Blog I emailed the author to ask how he does it. I got a real quick response that pointed me here. It is an addon to Google Earth. That some very kind pilot wrote. This link started my exploration of Google Earth.

Who's The Blonde Stranger? A blog about my progress toward obtaining my Private Pilots's Certificate and all things aviation. Monday, June 26, 2006. Lesson #21: False Start.

Aircraft Ownership - An Aviation Adventure: Flying Post 9/11

http://aircraftownership.blogspot.com/2006/11/flying-post-911.html

Aircraft Ownership - An Aviation Adventure. By Y2K I had found my way back to another passion from my college days. My first motorcycle since 1983, I bought a friend's BMW K75s. It was my first BMW and first bike in a very long time. By the end of the next year I had sold the K75 and had two more BMWs in the stable. I was daring to pursue those old passions again. And the determination to get current and buy my own aircraft. Do you have a story about your first lesson or aircraft? Links to this post:.

My account of working towards my pilot's license and beyond. Tuesday, September 18, 2007. Next stop. Checkride! My checkride is scheduled for tomorrow! So then we got in the plane again, and I contacted ground so I could taxi to the runway. Ground: "Mmmrfff wbble - way 13 rmffbl echo echo bschmrg". Me: "Uh taxi to runway 13, roger". Seriously. why do they sound like the worst drive-through speaker from the 70s you've ever heard? Don't they ever listen to see if they're coming through ok? 40 hrs IFR time.

My account of working towards my pilot's license and beyond. Sunday, September 23, 2007. The checkride was scheduled for Wednesday, but I had to reschedule to Friday in order to get the maintenance logs for the airplane. So, on Friday, I got up early to fly to GLX, cram some more, and then meet the DE. Yes - that's about what it shows for the other altitudes." He smiled and said I got it right lol. So I passed the oral. Yes! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Pass 3rd class medical. At least 50 hrs XC.

Student Pilot Blog: Updates

http://exgravelcruncher.blogspot.com/2008/06/updates.html

My account of working towards my pilot's license and beyond. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. A funny thing happened on the way to Memphis. We met at the airport, and prepared for our flight. We wanted to be thorough in our planning since this was a new plane, and a long trip, so we had a bit of a late start. We planned a fuel stop which was halfway between Houston and Memphis in Monroe LA. They can go about 200 mph, have aerobatic capabilities, are still good on cross countries with ranges of around 900 miles,...

My account of working towards my pilot's license and beyond. Tuesday, November 20, 2007. I hope I will not have to find out. Well I decided to refuel at the halfway point. This would have been at Mobile Regional, but according to airnav their fuel prices are a whopping $5.24. I saw that KPQL nearby had fuel prices of "only" $4.88, but now they are also at $5.24. That's ridiculous! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Pass 3rd class medical. At least 50 hrs XC. 40 hrs IFR time. 15 hrs dual IFR. Oral and flight test.
