Scrubbed IRA checkride
I have no reason to make this post except that none of my
coworkers understand my disappointment. I had to scrub my instrument checkride today because the aircraft I train in went in for a 50-hr inspection (my club's code-word for "oil change") and ended up with the door sent out to be welded. (Sounds to me like a squawk from a recent annual that was deferred until right before someone really needed the airplane!) Anyway, I'm totally down in the dumps. I stressed and studied all last night for the ride, and I can't get another appt. with the DE for two weeks. I really love flying, but I can't be the only person who just sometiems wants to get certain aviation episodes behind him. For me, right now, the instrument training and associated financial bleed are one of them. Since I started on the IRA in November, I have done no flying at all for pleasure and friends. I think that was my mistake -- but with the cost of two multi-hour flights with a CFII a week, those $100 weekend hamburgers kinda got dropped. I know I'm being a snot, but I'd love to hear other people's frustrating flying stories. -- dave j -- jacobowitz73 -at- yahoo -dot- com PS -- anybody in the SF Bay Area want to be a VFR safety pilot with an instr. student once or twice in the next couple of weeks? Aircraft is a Warrior. |
