I thought I would give my readers an update. Due to the fact that I am doing my instrument training as Part 141, I must follow a structured syllabus. There are three stages that I must go through, and at the end of each stage are tests. It requires you to take a stage written exam before you can take the stage checkride (flight portion). For stage one, the checkride would be my 13th flight. I have done 11 lessons so far. Before I can continue, I need to complete my written exam. This is what is holding me up.
I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut at the moment. The book studies are difficult; almost everything is completely new to me. New maneuvers, new regulations, deeper understanding of the airplane instruments, new tower communications, and in-depth weather studies. I believe that I got a little overwhelmed and lost some motivation. I haven't touched a book in almost three weeks, and it's been almost two weeks since I've had a lesson.
I will not however, give up. This is still my passion and I'm planning to get back on track soon.
