Default My ATP update: Got my private

I got my private pilot certificate yesterday on 3/21/2008. I'm at the Panama City location. It took aproximately 6 weeks to get from my start date which was 2/6/2008. I was totally stressing the oral and ride but it ended up being no big deal. I am totally psyched to have the certificate.

Yup, I started time building today. Flew to Atlanta and back. Simulated instrument on the ride back. Logged 4.8TT today with .1 actual real instrument through the clouds. Tomorrow we are going from Panama City to Houston. and overnighting there. So I'm already racking up the time building hours. Things seem to be running very smoothly and on schedule.

Congrats Jetguy!!! So when are you scheduled to start the 90 day? Of course I'm headed to Arlington to start April 14th, but going down early to finish time building. Maybe we'll cross paths during X-country phase...

Are you doing this timebuilding VFR? Are you doing the XC stuff via pilotage or do you have a GPS in the plane or what?

-Haha.. she actually happens to be my roommate... so I'll definately tell her. And for Erik, I always love giving him crap hehe, so that will be funny.

-For the question on my x-country's.. We file IFR and fly the VOR's and also use GPS which seems to be way more accurate to use than a VOR,

-I start the career program April 7th but it seems that I might start it early or have a week or so off because I'm cruising through the X-country's....
