First post!

Well, I've never really done a blog before, besides something like Xanga (anyone remember that??), so this should be pretty interesting.  I figure this should be a good place to get some thoughts out, although I'm not going to share my deepest, darkest secrets (who wants to hear about those anyway... right?).  Obviously I'm doing this because it's required, but maybe I'll get into it and keep up with it after I'm done with the assignment side of it... who knows!

Anyway, to the topic at hand: What do I want to get out of the class?  First and foremost... I want my multi.  Duh. That goes without saying.  But going beyond that, I really would like to gain an even better understanding of the aircraft I'll be flying for my career.  As we get into multi-engine aircraft, we obviously bring in more parts and more systems and therefore have lots more to pay attention to.  Not to mention, all this extra stuff happens extra fast.  More engines=faster. Good! And hard...maybe at first. I'm sure it'll take a little time to get used to the new "flows" and working at a faster pace.  But, like I said, that will only better prepare me for my future of flying fast multi-engine jets.  Ah yes, jets.  That'll be the day.

I do think I will enjoy the class though, and I'm definitely looking forward to what I'll gain from it!  It's hard to believe I'm already in the Multi class.  Just 2 years ago I was starting my private and thought I'd never get to the multi training.  Pretty exciting!  I'm still working on commercial but I hope to finish ASAP so I can get started flying the Seminole!

Until next time,
TB
