Staying at Sheble aviation

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

I got hired by Sheble. Or maybe I did not get hired, I just hang around long enough…
I was promised a ride back to San Diego by Gabe a nice guy also doing his CFI (a five year project for him but that is another story). He failed his checkride and had to stay a day or two longer so I started to help Sheble with stuff here just to keep boredom away.
Signed of my first student: Andrew who did his instrument. He passed. Since then I mainly worked with CFI students.

I was supposed to go to Anglo but given the choice Sheble was a easy one. First of all it is only temporary for a couple of weeks so I will most likely end up at Anglo anyhow (since I have freinds getting their JAA PPL at anglo starting next month and I promised to be their instructor) but Sheble are better at keeping promises to students and include logging.

CFII taken

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

I passed the CFII. Not much more then a IR checkride from the right seat..
I am beat, tired, boring to be around. Need to go to ct and pack up the glasair in the container. But I do not know how to get there..
Also took the high performance today. Sure feels strange to have to take a separate checkride since I already have flown multi aircrafts with 380HP total. But since the rules specify 200HP+ per engine that doesnt matter. Easy one anyhow, just a few flights around the pattern and a little groundschool.
