Change of Pace

I've made the decision to fly the remaining few lesson/flights out of Wilmington. I asked a friend who I fly with on occasion, which has been way to long since our last flight, what he knew about a local DE. I got a good report about the Examiner in question and this conversation led to our discussion about my current lesson status. I didn't have to say to much since he follows the blog and my frustration is obviously quite evident. I explained that I'm just not having fun in the air working on the instrument rating.

We chatted about some flying and then talked about an instructor that might be able to help me out. It's been a thought to get a second opinion about my flying so I asked if he would put us in contact. Tonight I got a call from the new instructor and it was a very enlightening exchange. We discussed my progress, my lessons, flight time, he asked my thoughts, what I was looking to accomplish and what he thinks it will take to get there. I liked everything I heard and his approach and attitude even better. We fly Friday for an evaluation and then will decide the best course of action at that point.

I must say after our chat I feel excited once again about flying and knocking out the check ride. It's going to be a crazy ride from now until April 9th so stayed tuned!
