A Productive Training Week

I had the last week off from work so my plan was to dedicate 3-4 hours per day for flight training. Whether I was doing actual training or studying/preparing ground briefs I was able to stick to that goal. This week consisted of three flights, two ground sessions, taking the CFI written exam and a bunch of hours in the library. The flying is coming together and I'm getting close to getting lazy 8's down. The performance of the other maneuvers are pretty good with refinement needed here and there.

The next few weeks of training will focus on refining the maneuvers to a commercial level and getting my ground teaching skills/knowledge up to a level where I can pass the practical exam.

It seems like I've been training for the CFI certificate for a long time but looking back at my logbook, I've gotten a lot accomplished since August. Here's a breakdown:

18 flights (including spin training) - 25.5 hours
35 ground briefs written and presented
FOI/CFI written exams passed
Countless hours in the library
