ET's Info-Stew

Well, one more test down. I passed today's stage check with the cheif CFI at KHWD, though it didn't go down without a couple hitches. My biggest mistake was to neglect to raise flaps before I lifted off after a touch-and-go, and then I retracted them fully after I just got airborne. Yikes that was scary! It was a mistake that came out of nowhere, but it was a good lesson learned, I suppose. I don't know what the next step is, and I'm not even sure I'm cleared to solo yet. Still, I'm that much closer to being a pilot now.
