whats the difference between a 2.5 GPA and a 3.5 GPA???

the amount of fun you had

a 2.5 gpa diploma is worth just as much as a 3.5

/things to remember.

You thread hijacking punks!

Can you get started on the next flight lab early if you finish your current one? Im guessing no for the flights, but what about briefings and sims?

Im gona try to get the same instructor I have now for 323, so that should make it a little easier to do.

Aw hell, by the time anyone reads this I will have alread asked someone personally. Oh well, it adds to my total post count.

Is the weather all that bad over the summer? I remember a few guys posting threads on here saying they were having trouble. Im essentially stuck with a late afternoon launch. Which is probably the worst time when there's even a hint of convective activity.

I have a feeling I'm biting off a little more than I can chew with 8 credits, a flight lab, and work. I'll have to see I guess. Im just a little concerned weather is gona be a pain in the arse.

The weather over the summer isn't really all that bad. Sure, there are T-storms, and you'll prolly be weathered a few times due to them. I don't think it's anything worth fretting over. Last summer, I had an afternoon launch and I think I WX it maybe two times due to T-storms. Multi would be a fun course to take over the summer. A lot of it is instrument work, and you could pick up some actual time!

Yeah, thats pretty much the main reason I want to take multi over the summer. To get some actual instrument. I don't know what it is, but the hood gets me in a bad mood(usually because I know it's beautiful out and I can't look outside

) and I actually fly worse with the hood than I do in actual.

problem is the clouds are usually out of range in the summer. they are much lower in the winter
