I figured that something would come up...and now it is the engine on the Cherokee...low compression in one of the cylinders. This was discovered on his (he seems to be male) 100 hr inspection. So my well laid and intricate plans to take my checkride on Tuesday have been bumped...so training is now scheduled for Thurs and Friday with the checkride on Saturday afternoon. Of course, when something like this happens you have to re-group and make the best of it...making the best of it in this case means studying more, preparing more and organizing all of my materials. Might head to the spirit pilot shop and get a new pilot bag and maybe a kneeboard for the XC portion. This is going to be a struggle until the bitter end...but I am exorcising a lot of demons here and they don't go down easy! Worried about weather now too...supposed to be really windy on Thur and Fri...little less windy on Saturday...oh well...I've flown in a LOT of wind during my training.
