FLIGHT TRAINING
Pre-solo training — all required pre-solo maneuvers and training are logged.
Pre-solo cross-country — the required flights and landings are logged.
Checkride prep: 1.2 hours of training count toward the requirement — 3.0 hours are required within the 2 calendar months before the test. 1.0 hours occurred outside of the 2-calendar-month window by 1 day.

Night cross-country flight (over 100 NM): one flight of 112 NM total distance is logged.
Night takeoffs and landings: 10 takeoffs and 10 landings were logged, but one takeoff occurred during the day.

Mar 22, 2026 — long solo cross-country: the flight totals 148 NM and one leg is under 50 NM straight-line; the requirement is 150 NM total, full-stop landings at 3 points, and one segment over 50 NM straight-line.
Recommended correction: fly a qualifying solo cross-country that meets all three parts.
Solo takeoffs and landings at a towered airport: 3 full-stop landings, each with a flight in the traffic pattern, are logged.
ENDORSEMENTS
Pre-solo aeronautical knowledge (§61.87(b)) — present, signed and dated before the first solo.
Pre-solo flight training (§61.87(c)) — present; certifies the required training was given and proficiency found.
Solo flight endorsement (§61.87(n)) — current, make and model match, dated within 90 days of the solo flights.
Mar 28, 2026 — solo cross-country planning endorsement (§61.93(c)(1)) is dated 6 days AFTER the Mar 22, 2026 flight it covers.
Recommended correction: have your instructor issue a corrected endorsement dated before the flight, or the flight cannot be credited.
Solo cross-country proficiency endorsement (§61.93(c)(2)) — present for the aircraft category and class.
Knowledge test endorsement (§61.35) — certifies ground training/home study and that the applicant was prepared for the test.
Jun 14, 2026 — practical test endorsement (§61.39) is present, but the instructor’s certificate number is hard to read in the photo.
Recommended correction: upload a clearer photo of that page.
MAINTENANCE
Annual inspection: signed Sep 12, 2026 — current through Sep 30, 2027.
100-hour inspection: the last one was completed 15 hours past its due time, and the next due time was incorrectly set 100 hours out. It should be 85 hours from the last inspection.
Recommended correction: complete the 100-hour inspection before the checkride and correct the next due time in the maintenance records.
Altimeter and static system (§91.411): tested Feb 2026 — current through Feb 2028.
Transponder test (§91.413): was done 26 months ago — it is due every 24 months, so the aircraft cannot be used for the checkride until it is re-tested.
Recommended correction: have the transponder tested and upload the new entry.
ELT (§91.207): inspected Aug 2026; battery within its use-by date.
Airworthiness directives: records show all applicable ADs complied with and current.
Airworthiness certificate and registration: both shown aboard the aircraft in the submitted records.
