FAA Written Exam and Solo Flying
That was my activity today....
First, the FAA Written.... I just barely passed... see below for my score.
I called my instructor to tell him that I got a "100" on the exam. I got his voicemail, so I left a message. He called me back a couple of hours later and said, "Well, you're pretty good a memorization... or maybe you know a thing or two about flying." Ha-ha! Anyway, he said that we should go ahead and schedule a cross-country soon and to call him when he gets back after this weekend.
After my exam I had a solo flight scheduled. Having talked to my instructor the previous day, and got the okay to go (weather permitting), I headed out to the airport shortly after lunch. The wind was variable at about 4 knots, in other words, almost nothing. The skies were clear and visibility greater than 10 miles. The temperature was in the mid-70's. It was a really nice day to be in the sky.
I spent about an hour and twenty minutes flying and worked on some ground reference maneuvers, turns about a point, s-turns, did some slow flight (at 65 knots), and practiced intercepting and overflying the VOR station at Bonham, TX (BYP). I started with a few touch-and-goes and finished with a few touch-and-goes to round out my time and buttoned up the plane.
Next flight: Thursday, April 10.
