So here I am finally at the point where I will be tested by the FAA to be a private pilot.  I have graduated from my training school, received my graduation certificate and will be brushing up on a few skills.  I have also filed my paperwork with the government.  I am so close, yet always  learning and practicing.  Today I did some short field and soft field operations, and to be quite honest, my soft field landings could have been much better and they have been …. practice, practice and more practice is the only solution!!  See you on the tarmac
