Private Pilot!

Posted 04-03-2009 at 23:54 by mechie
I took my Private pilot checkride today and PASSED. The wind was calm and my nerves were jumping, but I somehow managed to pass. I felt I did "OK" on the oral portion. The examiner walked me through a number of questions. He was impressed with my use of VORs on my cross country instead of using a straight line from point A to B and finding check points along that route. Instead I used VORs and used checkpoints along those routes to give myself a backup.

The flight portion went fairly well. I lost altitude a couple times, but I caught it. I felt my landings were the best I have ever done.

I'm so excited!!!!!
