# Progress Check Passed Pending Review of the Following
- [ ] *practice getting flight following in the actual airplane*
- [ ] Types of PIREPs
- [ ] Thunderstorm Formation
- [ ] VFR Weather Minimums
- [ ] Endorsement Requirements
# Preflight Preparation
- good job
# Cross Country Flight Planning / Route Planning / Navlog
- I would not go so close to the Disney TFR -> just in case you have not been able to climb up
- I would also recommend not planning to go through the lakeland Delta airspace, but good explanation of your plan to traverse the area
- make sure that your first waypoint is the airport you are dpearting from
# Weather Information / Weather Theory
## NOTAMs
- EXC would indicate except in a NOTAM:
## SIGMETs / Conv. SIGMETs / AIRMETs / CWAs
- convective SIGMET
- good job
- SIGMETs
- good job with what can be included
- **they are generally valid for four hours, not two**
- AIRMETs
- good job with types
- good job with valid times
## Surface Analysis
- cold front
- good job
- trough
- keep in mind that the low atmospheric pressure causes air to flow inwards and *upwards* which creates the lifting action that is required for thunderstorm formation
- low pressure / high pressure areas
- initially stated low pressure clockwise and high pressure counter clockwise
- was able to lookup the direction
- isobar lines
- good job
## PIREPs
- was able to read pirep
- UA is routine and UUA is urgent
## Vis Surface Winds / Precip
- good job
## Thunderstorm Formation
- asked about what is required for thunderstorms to form
- stated instability, moisture,
# Cross Country Flight Planning and Performance
- good job
# Airplane Performance and Limitations
# Weight and Balance
- good job
# Flight Plan / Flight Following
- stated would file a flight plan
- good job talking about the benefits
- stated has never gotten flight following
# Airspace
- good job
## VFR Weather Minimums
- stated class E 2 miles horizontal -> but then corrected himself
# Radio Frequencies and Procedures
- good job
# Locating ATC Frequencies
- good job
# Runway Incursion Avoidance
- good job
# Lost Procedures
- good job
# Required Logbook / Cert Endorsements
- **review this**
- you need to be endorsed for solo flight, solo cross country flight, and then also for each specific flight that you would do
# Alternate Plans of Action
- good job
