OFC Pre-Solo

The OFC (Ottawa Flying Club) pre-solo exam is not actually required by the government to get my license, but the flying club makes me write it before they trust me with their planes. The crazy thing is 12 pages long, something I didn’t know until yesterday. There were 61 questions, with a total mark of 100. Most questions were fill in the blank, but most were multiple choice, but most were fill in the blank. A passing grade, fortunately, is 70%, a little lower than for the PSTAR.

I drove to the airport at 3pm, studied there a little bit more, and then wrote the exam. I didn’t find it too bad, although there were a couple of places where I was supposed to fill out a list, and came up one answer short! Unal and I did a good job of preparing me for this exam, and I am confident I easily passed.

I have booked a plane for Tuesday afternoon for a flight with Unal. Afterwards, he should be able to recommend me for the flight test with an instructor named John.
