Thank you. For me, I want to get the multi commercial first because I have some opportunities flying corporate. I don't ever see myself in ATP. More the flexibility to be able to take assignments as they come and to give myself options.

Hip Hip Horray. I am NOW a Commercial pilot. What can I say; my parents would be so proud, I am proud and my kids are too! It was a lot of work, but so worth it. Big thank you to my flight instructors [Christopher, Mike ] and my awesome DPE David Koebel. A big thank you to King Schools for the awesome prep. My examiner complimented me on my ground/oral which was fun to plan. He also loves how stable and fast the Mooney is. I had to teach him how to close the door six times, but other than that! I went back to my old stomping grounds in the Pacific Northwest, Hood River Oregon. I learned to fly there many moons ago. Paired the check ride with a family vacation. On to my multi-engine commercial. PS: Does my flight track look like a T-Rex dinosaur or what??? #MooneyZoom #ProPilot

Right now we are in the #MessyMiddle. We will persevere, recover and rebuild. Looking forward to Tuesday night's Social Flight Live episode where I will go over my Big Three psychological and physical tips to get through the pandemic. PS: at some point in an interview I usually get tongue tied... too many ideas coming to the gate at once. Listen in and see if I do! Perfectly imperfect we all are [in best Yoda voice]. http://www.socialflight.com/event-details.php

Here is the link to my AOPA interview. It is sad the video quality is poor but they said with everyone on the internet it is the best we could get. I hope it is helpful

Hey all I am glad the article I wrote for Flying Magazine is no online. It was super fun to write and I hope it is helpful for those getting ready [hopefully someday soon] for a check ride. https://www.flyingmag.com/story/training/nail-your-check-ride/

Hello All, Many of us who are used to presenting around the country have transferred our seminars, workshops, and resources online during the COVID19 crisis. I will be working with AOPA Live, Social Flight Live, and more. I will use this thread to help get the word out on all sorts of great online resources for us all. Come learn Jolie's "Big Three" when it comes to breaking out of stress responses. These opportunities will give you concrete steps to take during these very stressful times. I will post links as soon as available.

Here's the answer you were looking for. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2020/march/25/faa-policy-expected-on-extending-compliance-deadlines?utm_source=ebrief&utm_medium=email

I have been working on mine! No reason to be cooped up. There was a lot of traffic the other day when I was working on my 180 power off landings. Also good to keep up on YouTube channels that have content on the commercial: Finer Points, Bold Method, AOPA, Rod Machado, King etc. I spoke to a DPE and, of course, his schedule has been put on hold. But he suggested that I continue to practice 8s on pylons, steep turns, chandelles, etc. I also have my home sim set up, though it is a lot easier to shoot approached on it then check my progress on the chandelle. Having X-plane shoot Foreflight to my ipad helps with geo referencing and track log. Good luck to you. Although I feel like the instrument rating was the hardest [and best for me as a pilot] the commercial is going to open up a world of opportunities. Of course, I took my best friend with me.
