Postponed Again!

My phase check got postponed again! Man. I was all set to go, too, but the 1/4 SM visibility on both ends of the journey kind of put a damper on things. So we've rescheduled for Monday. The good news is, if my night flight happens tonight, I'll get some experience going to Modesto before my phase check, which will only help me.

I've created a schedule that should have me done by the end of the month. I figure there are 10 flights that have to happen, so I scheduled all of them (except the last two, which are the final phase check and the FAA check ride, which I can't schedule just yet). Here's the schedule:

Date/Time	AC	Note
2/4 1730 - 2100 Sat	9849L C-172 PAO	Night XC
2/6 1330 - 1900 Mon	6521J C-172 PAO	X-co phase check
2/8 0930 - 1200 Wed	9849L C-172 PAO	Phase check follow up
2/9 1100 - 1400 Thu	6521J C-172 PAO	Solo XC
2/9 1730 - 2100 Thu	9849L C-172 PAO	Night XC backup (if needed)
2/10 1330 - 1800 Fri	6521J C-172 PAO	X-co phase check backup if needed, else long solo XC
2/13 0830 - 1200 Mon	6521J C-172 PAO	Check ride prep #1
2/14 1500 - 1800 Tue	6521J C-172 PAO	Check ride prep #2
2/16 1500 - 1800 Thu	6521J C-172 PAO	Check ride prep #3
2/18 1230 - 1600 Sat	6521J C-172 PAO	Check ride prep backup
2/20 0830 - 1200 Mon	6521J C-172 PAO	Check ride prep backup

So that includes all the backups and everything I should need, so worst case I should be done with all that and ready for the FAA check ride by the end of the month, with plenty of time to spare. This does assume a LOT of flying, a lot of cooperation from my job, the weather, my girlfriend, the club's scheduling system and airplanes.

In the mean time, I keep re-reading everything hoping to cram bits of information into my head -- I think I finally got the cloud clearances in various airspaces thing mostly down!
