I’ve flown 4.1 hours today. I think my brain is fried. Completely fried. But, I’ve now completed lessons 1-8, which leaves one to be flown tomorrow morning at 8am, and then I’m signed off for my stage check, which if any luck will be Saturday. If so, Zach will have completed his goal of first stage in one week. There’s absolutely no way to describe the sort of brain frying that learning to fly instruments can cause, particularly if you overdose. After I pass the stage check, it’s on the simulators.

I flew two localizer approaches today. I did. Me. That rocked.

It was a beautiful night to fly. Unfortunately, I couldn’t look outside.

Earlier today the ceilings were at about 2,000 feet, and I was sure I was going to get some actual time. But no, someone else took the airplane I was scheduled in. By the time I got to fly, the clouds were all gone.
