If you don't have your medical certificate and you have any reason as to why it would be delayed to the FAA, let me just foremost you in this:
GO GET IT LIKE, YESTERDAY.
In my humble experience with this situation, just take heed and do it like right meow. It took me from October until February for them to process my registration with them and give me my certificate. That doesn't mean I couldn't fly (obviously because I didn't have it before), but it does mean that it would have been a waste of time and money for me to fly during that time.
Alas, I begin flying next week. Today is Sunday and I fly Tuesday and Thursday. I better get used to it again!
To recover from my slightly off-kilter situation, I thought I'd retain some pride and let you all know I have not just been sitting on my bum! I did get through the next stage in my training (aside from flight-planning but that is next).The goal thus far is to knock all of the rust off my flying, and solo as soon as possible, so I can start flying to surrounding cities alone and to get my hours built up. Without supervision. Just me and the chopchopchop of the blades...one of the most monumental things about being a flight student is that first solo flight.
How much further would I have been if I hadn't had to wait? My goal for having my private license was February and here it is...come and gone. I could have been doing instrument flight training with the foggles right now :( Ahh, soon young padowan!
On the other hand, I really just can't wait to start flying and doing my autorotations again!! I have my new kneeboard to use as well!
Anyways, definitely more updates coming soon.
- Ready, Fire, Aim!
