So Sunday was pretty mundane. I slept in, got some chow and studied all afternoon and evening. Nothing interesting to report.

Today kind of changed my opinion of the overall instruction here. They made it pretty clear that if people are having problems, the instructors will stay to all hours of the night to help you. That doesn't mean you always get extra flight time (you can, though), but they will go over things with you again and again if they know you really want it and are really trying.

The planes were flying again today. I guess two instructors were flying a plane back into the AFA and their engine shut down on Friday or Saturday (not sure). They didn't declare an emergency, and didn't even tell anyone until 2 hours after landing at the airport!!! Nice!!

Another interesting fact: 3 people from the previous class have QUIT in the last 4 days!!! And they were ALL graduates of the AFA!!! The instructors have no idea what's going on, but are VERY interested in finding out what the problem is.

We had an example Formal Brief, EP, and stand-up this morning, I guess it's just like they do at UPT. We have to start doing it tomorrow. They told us who would do the stand-up each morning for the rest of this week, but after that, anyone is fair-game. The rest of today was more academics. We went over weather, EPs, checklists, preflight, etc... then started PT at 1630... rough!!!

I guess we'll be on the flight schedule for our dollar rides on Wednesday, sweet!

Oh, and don't forget to bring $20 for landing fees. They need it for your patches, the pool table, building the bar (they don't stock it), and I guess they want to get a bunch of plasma T.V.s eventually.
