I need to go flying

I'm due for a bi-annual flight review in December so I want to go up in the pattern for an hour or so before I have to fly with my CFI and get bi-annually reviewed.

The review isn't anything at all like the four and a half hours I had to go through to get my license two years ago but it is a review of the required skills. It's not really a pass/fail thing, it's more of a, "Here's what you need to work on" kind of thing.

Still, I want to spend some time working on a few things before I have to do them with my CFI. No sense embarrassing myself.

Besides, I'll take any excuse to go flying.
