Recurrent right around the corner

Finally got a date that I will be going to recurrent training. I will be going to Tucson on June 7th. I'll be attending Flight Safety's Tucson Training Facility located at the Tucson International Airport. It's a fantastic facility with first class instructors. Also, I really dig the city of Tucson, so I'm very much looking forward to the trip. On my next post I will be including the Emergency Checklist memory items as a way to keep them fresh in my mind. In the mean time, I will be continuing with my limitations, systems and other stuff.
