start flying again and am pretty rusty

I flew yesterday for the first time in months.  I missed a BFR in Jan and need to bone up to do it.  I flew with a new instructor and worked on basic procedures, slow flight, stalls, a little bit of an instrument approach along with a couple of other things.   I am more rusty than I realized so I need to hit the books and the sim again.  The weather was perfect though and it went ok in general.

graduate school done! time to start flying again

I finished my MS degree a little over a week ago and it is time to resume my instrument training.  I am going to start reviewing material with another pilot in the same boat probably this weekend.  We need to review the basics of navigation, comms procedures (essential for the DC SFRA), 172 check lists and so on.   Definitely looking forward it.  More to come later.
