I am just thinking to myself. Would I like it better at an FBO? I do not know. Its sort of a hard situation. UND gives you 3 launch days per week. Some times you launch 1, sometimes 2, rarely do I ever get my 3 launches in. If you guys could do it all over again knowing what you know now? Would you have went to UND? I came here to fly. I want to fly more and at a faster pace.

Thanks for listening to me guys.

Well, I’m pretty sure that there are instructors that could handle taking on another student. I’d talk to your instructor first though, so that you don’t just “up and leave” and start flying with a new instructor. If your instructor isn’t able to meet the expectations that you have (to meet three times a week at least) then I’d have to believe he would understand you wanting to be reassigned to another instructor.

As for me… I would try to get my three launches done per week, and whatever I could do on the weekend to get ahead. If my instructors couldn’t meet with me, it usually wasn’t a problem finding another instructor to fly more launches.

Being close to a stage check (like your situation) can be tricky too, but it’s also important to fly regularly (especially in the beginning) to keep proficiency up.

Hang in there
