I've been quite busy the last few weeks, even though one week saw my teaching schedule fall off dramatically. At first I wondered if it was a trend, but then my phone started ringing off the hook and I realized it was just a welcome break. So how did I spend that slow week? Relaxing? Blogging? Playing the slots in Vegas?
Actually, I spent the better part working on some home repair projects - mostly hanging sheetrock, then taping, mudding, sanding, and painting. It was kinda fun to be working on a construction project, until my muscles started to ache and my back began to bother me. Oh, yeah. Now I remember why I hate home projects.
Still, there was a bit of flying done recently.
Different types of aircraft flown - nine.
Landings observed/taught -39.
Landings performed - 9 (in six different aircraft types).
Instrument approaches observed/taught - 23.
Instrument approached performed - 6.
Holding patterns observed/taught - 12.
Holding patterns performed - 2.
Moderate to severe turbulence encounters - 3.
Pilot candidates recommended for a practical test - 2 (one CFI, one commercial ASEL add-on).
Number of pilot candidates who passed - 2 (congrats to Greg and Andy).
But now, if you'll excuse me, I have some painting to do on a window I just installed. Oy! My aching back!
