As I described yesterday, it turned out that both of the FBO's Piper Warriors were down for maintenance today, which meant that I couldn't go flying. Mike suggested that a good way to use the time would be to take the practice written exam instead.

One of the requirements you have to meet before getting a pilot's license is to score a 75% or better on the official FAA written knowledge exam. However, the FAA doesn't even let you take the written exam until a flight instructor has signed an endorsement in your logbook saying you're ready. At Fly By Knight, they give you a practice exam, and if you score 85% or better on it, then they endorse your logbook and you can make an appointment to take the official one.

I don't think I had ever realized just how big this airplane is. Each propeller blade is the size of a person, and the engine is practically the size of a small car. I guess that's what it takes to make 2200 horsepower and fly 500 mph - 214 views
