Glad to be back

Yesterday I flew for the first time in a while and Im so glad to be in the air again. As I prepare for my written exam in a couple weeks, when we fly we just do the things I dont understand or havent seen before. Yesterday we did a quick .8 hour lesson going over UNOS and ANDS its crazy how the compass does actually go crazy. After that we entered the pattern and realized I was a bit rusty. As we turned from downwind to base we saw a taildragger coming towards us closer than normal. In quick reaction we turned left to avoid and landed. We called it a day after that and went to the hanger to go over some Written Exam questions. I never have been that close to an aircraft in the air and dont want to be. I wouldnt say it was scary just put in real the phrase "Keep your eyes pealed" and how no matter what be ready for anything. Oddly enough he was cruising at pattern altitude and never did land just went truck-en through.

On another note some stuff to look forward in the future, first off my new website should be up and running in a short while. This will give you guys the chance to share aviaiton throughout the web.
Also I have developed an E-Logbook that has taken me a longwhile. It is finally done and if you are interested in using it let me know and ill email you the download. Also I will put it public soon so everyone can have it. Its a cool program all you need is Microsoft excel 2007 and it will work. Note*** If you have an older version of Microsoft let me know and I can give you a different download to use so it will work.
The E-logbook does not only keep all your flight hours but also brakes it up and shows totals of different categories. Its easy to use and I think you will enjoy it. I will be working on it constantly so keep a look out for newer versions monthly.

Although Blogger has been good to me the past year I have decided since my sense of web development is pretty good that I would start my own website. Im pretty excited for it wont just have my blog but many other features like a forum page and much more. I hope you will visit it when you get a chance. As of right now its not ready but soon it will be a very cool website.
I will still try to post on blogger but can not gurantee anything.

Until Next Time,

Private Pilot Oral Exam Test Prep Book


I finally received my Private Pilot Oral Exam Guide I ordered on ebay.com today and I have to admit that it is a lot thicker than I thought. My objective is to carry this around with me and look over it every time I have down time. I consider it to be my bible till May (Checkride). I have started to look over it and I am happy to be able to answer most questions in there. I also see alot of questions I do not remember or have not learned. It is well worth the $8+shipping costs I spent on it and recommend any Student Pilot no matter what level to purchase this and look over it from time to time.
