The weather in Ottawa is frustrating. Seriously, there have probably only been about ten days of good weather in the last six weeks, and I haven’t had a flight booked on any of them!
About once a week, I head out to the airport in the middle of the afternoon for my second solo cross-country, only to hang around a bit, then decide I can’t go. Today, that happened, but I wrote a practice exam since I was there anyhow. The exam was to see if I am ready to write the real Transport Canada exam that I have to pass to get my license. I’ll find out in a couple of days what I got.
To get my Private Pilot’s License, I still need to:
- Write the Transport Canada exam
- Fly (and pass) a flight test
- Fly a second solo cross-country to Cornwall, Brockville, and back to Ottawa
Do you realize you’re at the 1/4 mark already? Good news for sure. The rest of us are all waiting for you to finish so we can fly with your airline. Somehow it’s hard to think you’d let any chunks fly off “your” plane, or let mere Canadian bad weather faze you.
