Met with my instructor yesterday to discuss the nitty gritty before our first lesson, tentatively set for April 1st. We went over a little bit more detailed syllabus, signed some paperwork, filled out a logbook audit, which is basically every crazy combination of flight hours you can think of. Dual Night, Solo Night, Total Night, Dual Night X-country, Solo Night X-country, Total Night X-country, and so on and so forth. It took quite a while to fill out. I can’t imagine having to fill one of those things out if you had like 1000+ hours. Took me long enough with ~140 hours.
After working through all that, I went down to the FBO store and bought a Seminole POH (Pilots Operating Handbook) & laminated checklists and the Cessna 172P POH & laminated checklists. Yay! More books to read! I’m actually very excited to have the Seminole POH. After going through the King Video’s it will be nice to know, when they say “this is only for hydraulically actuated props”, to be able to know, “Hey, the Seminole has Hydraulically actuated props!”. :-)
So between now and next week, I will be memorizing checklist items, reading the Seminole POH and building some more time in the club plane. How very exciting!
