Free Digital Flash Cards and Study Info

I do want to remind everone I made Digital Flash Cards and they are available to download to help you study for your exams for free:

PREVIOUS BLOG: I have completed my digital note cards for the Jeppesen Private Pilot Airman Knowledge Exam. These answer where extracted directly from the FAA 141 Test Question and Answer Bank. According to my instructor these are the questions they will pull the 2009 FAA Written Exam from. The only question not on the digital cards are the ones that reference the figure 1-30 (about 50 out of the 800 questions) so your on your own for those, but you have chart to look at you should already know it anyway. You can download the file here PRIVATE PILOT AIRMAN KNOWLEDGE TEST and the program can be downloaded here it is called CUECARD. You also print and study with this program and save yourself a lot of time, I hope it helps a lot of people out there ready for their exam and save money not having to buy the study flash cards for 75 bucks. Good Luck!

Also If you need any supplies try
Jeppesens My Pilot Store!
It's the biggest site on the web so the supplies are a lot cheaper...I go the entire package before I started 141 best thing I could have done, it's an investment but well worth it



Diary of Student Pilot Part 61 :) Lol

Okay so I am back in North Carolina Now (where it all started) Now I have personal reasons that have brought me home...not just the money some family issues but we wont get into that. So I want to finish part 61 I have 38 hours. On Monday I will go to the school here and figure out how everything transfers. Everybody, I forgot one thing...I got so wrapped up in flight school...I forgot why i started it. I stopped flying for fun, and started flying for a because I have to attitude. I wasn't flying for myself anymore...Please think about what you are doing right now in your flight path...are you flying for yourself, if not then do. I am going to take my time and slowly finish I am not going to rush anymore, eve if it means I spend more money and take extra time before I test, I want to go slow and enjoy it. No rush it and hate it. I am a Pilot at heart and know I always will be now.

Change in Plans - Part 61

To all my fellow followers I would like to announce I am switching from part 141 to Part 61 to obtain my private pilots lisence. The reason being is school is requiring more hours than I was told and more money for instruction (almost 2000 more $$) which I had no idea they where going to charge me so much for oral practive, an enormous fee for the written, and twice as much for the FAA Practival. So I have met the requirements to get my pilots license however I will continue it through part 61 because it will be cheaper. I am scheduling my flight test with the FAA in my home town for my sports license so I can practice and fly for fun again while I obtain my private. So I got what I wanted, to return home, take care of business, and get my license (and without an oral exam!) lol. To the Sky! So Ill only be allowed to carry one passenger for a while no biggie, Ill finish soon! See you soon mom and dad!

Day 12 - The Waiting Game

I decided I needed complete silence before the testing. I staying at a friends house she is not using.It has a pool. The first thing I did this morning, when I woke up was jump in it and do laps. I cannot tell you how much that help when you study. To exercise and keep you body active for the air and your mind. I only need a couple more hours before I can take my test; however the weather has not been good enough for me to take my final cross countries to Oscala and Crystal River. So...I play the waiting game, I take this time to study, but I know my material and now its a matter of patience...and Im getting ever so anxious. You know my goal after this Private Pilot Certificate is to continue my school and obtain my commercial lisence so I can do Aerial Photography and Banner Towing...My degree has been in Fine Arts and Marking as well as my work background. I figure not only is it something I will enjoy doing; but something Ill be passionate about and make good money not slaving away in a cubical like so many unhappy people I see every day. It will take work, It will take time, but I will do it. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, I believe at some point in your life you figure our who you really are; and you live with that decision. Well I did and I have.
There is so much going on in my life, and I cannot wait to return to restore to normal; but this I must finished my eyes focused on only one thing. Passing this test; failure not an option. Nor will I. I have studied enough to know I am ready. And I can do this.

Day Ten - Nervous Break Down

I took the day off, I didn't study, I didn't fly. I think it was healthy. A good Pilot in Command knows when not to fly.

Day Niner - Flashbacks & Day 9

Did a lot of power off and on stalls today, I think that I did pretty well its been a month since I think Ive done them so considering I did well, I also did a bit slow flight as well. And played with the VOR too. After playing in the pattern so much you have readjust to outside airspace ya know? I bought my instructor a 50 dollar gift card he likes to play golf so I figure he can use that to play a round or two, or hell go out drinkin lol. I have decided to go back to North Carolina for 4days I have business to attend to there and it will be a good excuse to study as as well as take some time off and see my family. Its so close to the end its like the last day of of school. Well I am REALLY tired so Im gonna end this short! Ill catch you later and leave you some more detail later on my fellow pilots! Fly High!
