Thanks for the replys!

I do discuss these things with my instructor, however I feel that receiving a wide variety of advice from experienced pilots can only have a positive effect on my training.

I stand by that belief in regard to the article midilfeflyer wrote. That was some great advice and just what I was looking for! And thank you flyguy for your thorough response...certainly invaulable advice.

As for my long awaited solo.....the weather here in Dallas took a nose dive sometime around 1am this morning and I awoke to find low overcast skies and 3sm visibility. Things only became worse the closer it got to my departure time.

By 2pm, my scheduled flight time, it was raining, the ceiling had dropped to 1,000 ft with Thunderstorms all around. As I write this, here is the weather for my airport-Addison:

KADS 282249Z 08010KT 3SM RA BKN044 OVC100 20/20 A2986

So, needless to say my flight was canceled and I spent the afternoon at the gym and watching more of those CPC DVDs!

I scheduled another flight for tomorow at 1600. Hopefuly the weather will be better by then....It just kills me how all throughout the week we had clear skies and nice weather, then when the weekend arrives and I'm scheduled to fly the rain moves in

Oh well.....thats part of the adventure of getting your PPL!
