After raın cancelled my fırst flıght on Saturday I got off the ground on Sunday. I am taking lessons in an Evektor Sportstar Light Sport. N915LS. I have been up twice logging two hours so far. I have 5 landings logged.

The weather this time of year in Tampa is very rainy. It has rained every time I have went to fly. My second flight was almost canceled. A severe thunderstorm rolled through just as I was doing my preflight. The worse of it rolled through pretty quick. We ended up just doing some taxiing practice and 4 touch and go's in the airport traffic pattern. The last landing I did all by myself. I guess learning how to fly in bad weather will help me be a more prepared pilot. If everything was perfect I wouldn't learn too much. I have the flying bug for sure. On average it is costing my about $140 an hour to fly with an instructor. His goal now is to get me to solo as soon as he can. After the last landing I was pretty confident that it will be soon.

The Evektor is a small plane and likes to fly slow. Average speed is around 80 mph. Climbs and landings are at about 70 mph.

I also purchased Gleim's FAA Test Prep 2008 software. Lots of test questions. I now know I have lots to learn. Flying is going to be the easy part.
