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
I think that is a very good idea. So flying 3 days a week plus extra days on the weekend is not out of the realm of possibilities. Good.

Out of the end of the year, I think I will see how well I like the program and if its worth finishing at UND vs FBO.

Are you an instructor at UND? Are you free in the mornings lol...
