DONE WITH
THE EXAMS... SO FAR
Written: 27

I had the last exam for a while today. Groundschool
is also done now for everything up to Commercial
Pilot Licence. Now I have a break for about a month
before I start the Certificated Flight Instructor
groundschool.
There's been alot of tests in the last couple of
days in connection with the end of groundschool,
but I haven't really been nervous about any of them.Though
I know I will be when the checkrides come. That's
when I have to preform.
I had as mentioned my last exam for a while today.
The FAA Lasergrade Exam Commercial. This was the
final exam which is given by the FAA (Federal Aviation
Administration) and is done in a computerroom here
at school. The computer is linked to a central database
which provides me with random questions from the
questionbank. The exam today was the biggest so
far with it's 100 questions. All of them are multiple
choice, so it isn't all that hard, though they always
manage to get you on a couple of trick questions.
From now on I'll basically just fly. I'll also
be starting on the European curriculum to get that
started (alot of books to read). I hope to get to
fly more than I've done so far, but I don't know
how it's going to be. I'm halfway to my instrument
rating and I hope to do the checkride in about a
month. After that awaits 50 hours of cross country
instrument flying, which is basically just fun flying
around the states around here. I hope to get these
done by the time I go home for Christmas. Maybe
a bit optimistic, but I will at least try.
Other than that I'm currently looking around to
buy a car. Haven't found anything yet, but I'm looking
as hard as I can. Insurrance here is expensive and
there's a jungle of insurrance agents out there.
I hope to post an article here soon with the headline:
"Mikkels new car!".
