I went to Dr. Gibson in Maryville and had a physical for a Third Class Medical done. There were a lot of other people there for flight physicals. I was a little worried that I might not pass. I’m not really sure why, but I was worried nonetheless. After about 2 and a half hours I was given the all clear and issued my medical certificate and student pilot certificate. I was elated. I know that I didn’t have to do a medical this early in the process, but in talking to Josh after the flight he recommended that I do it as soon as possible. It only seemed logical to me that I should spend $100 dollars to find out if would be able to fly rather than spend hundreds to get to the point where I needed a medical and find out then that I couldn’t go any further.
Right after I finished up there I went to the flight school and paid for my books and ground school. Unfortunately that doesn’t start until next week. I can’t wait.
Hello, my name is Matt Everett and as of 1/1/2010 I am a private pilot ASEL. I started this blog early in my training and used it primarily as a place to keep notes of my lessons. Since then it has grown to much more than that, but my main focus is still on aviation experiences.
