Career Changer

It is going on 3 months since I last update this blog.  Not alot of forward movement on my part.  I have been flying, but still have yet to really get into preparing for the Commercial Written.  I want to get it out of the way before I start the training.  I am also looking for a place to do my CMEL with CSEL add-on, and there isn’t a place local to do that. 

There have been a few Manditory Service Bulletins for the aircraft, so that did take the plane out of service for a few days.  It was for the CAPS chute and a rigging issue (don’t slip the plane, it might not return to neutral).  Got it back, only to get another MSB in the mail.  This one is for the PFD if the Garmin’s had been upgrade to WAAS.  Not an issue as this plane has NOT had that done, mostly due to NOT alot of WAAS fields in the area, and that with the Garmin’s low there is a requirement for another annunicator to be added.  Avidyne is working to place this in the next revision of the PFD software.

I have made multiple trips and the logbook is getting full, just not with alot of hours.  I may fly 2-3 times a week, but nothing more then 4 hours at any one hit to the logbook, and more are just overn an hour.  I need to update the logbook and see where my TT is now.

Work has been the problem, like before.  Having a full-time (60+hours a week) job doesn’t help except that for trips I can fly. Not alot of time to do book work.  I am going to strive to do better at advancing the studying, as well as updating this blog.
