I have drawn up a plan with Nick to aggressively finish off my flight lessons. By the afternoon of Saturday September 1st, six days from now, I could be a private pilot! The next six days will be spent studying and cramming for the knowledge portion. In addition, I am scheduled to fly Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. It's not certain that the examiner will be available, but if he is, I intend to be ready. I'm going to be taking the checkride in a 172N, so I had to go out an get another Aircraft Information Manual.
