i needed some hood work (flying on instruments only) catch up time and some practice on several areas so i flew with my instructor yesterday. i did an hour of hood altogether and then practiced a number of different things. it went reasonably well and i think i'm ready for my stage 3 check with the owner of my flight school. assuming that he's satisfied with that then i'm ready for the FAA test. also, my instructor (my second) has found a job with a local contract airline service so he's moving on. i don't know how that impacts me yet (but i'm hoping not much).
on another note, last night i flew for the first time in the right seat. a friend that got his license a month ago wanted to stay night current (you have to do at least 3 landings at night, which is one hour after sunset, every 90 days) so i went with him while he stayed in the pattern. i haven't flown at night since last sept and it was neat. it was very calm and there was no traffic. a perfect evening to fly. so far, it doesn't sound like that many private pilots stay night current. i'm hoping that i will be able to.
