Phone buzzed with a text at 0800..."WX too bad for flying...ground school today". I went down to KFES and spent a couple of hours learning about filing flight plans, flight following, the E6-B flight computer, how to use my plotter, VOR's, to and from VOR's (triangulation), FSS, Duats, Metars, Sigmets....I don't think any part of the alphabet was safe by the end.
When the wx clears the lessons will go something like this: a few more lessons 50/50 practicing maneuvers and me flying solo. A pilotage xc down to Perryville, a practice xc with my instructor to Rolla and then my big xc to SGF to visit my cousin and uncle. Only 10 more days of school for me this year and then I am going to really accelerate my training!
