What a morning. I woke up and decided to fly down to Selinsgrove since it was such a nice day out. I landed, and then this guy started asking me a bunch of questions, and insisted we go flying. Then, at the end of it all, he made me surrender my pilot's certificate...

...and then gave me a paper one labeled "Private Pilot - Airplane Single Engine Land Instrument Airplane"

I'm done flying for the day, time for a beer! :yes:

Good on you, Ted. Welcome to the ancient and eternal order of pilots.
 
Way to go, Ted. I knew the outcome last night, other than your less than positive attitude about it.

:yes::D:rofl::goofy:

Congratulations Ted. Did you file IFR on the way home?

I thought about it, but I was mentally exhausted from the check ride, and picking up the clearance out of that airport requires you call, so it's a bit of a hassle. I just hopped in the plane and came home.

Tomorrow's supposed to have some more flying. For that, I may file instrument just for the fun of it. :)
 
Way to go Ted. Looking forward to hearing about more of your flying experiences.

Best,

Dave
 
Congrats Ted, I will be there one day.

Enjoy

Congratulations and welcome to the hassles of filing.

Clearance Delivery needs to be on speed dial.

Oh Ted, you gave me a scare for a minute.

As some of you know, I had the pleasure of camping next to Ted and Missa at OSH. What an intelligent and nice young man. A big hug and congratulations.

:cheers:

Thanks, Linda! I very much enjoyed camping next to you as well, and am looking forward to next year!

In the mean time, lots more flying, just not until tomorrow. ;)
 
Ted, that is so great. Good work. Heck, I just had a beer to celebrate. You've just got a ticket to wonderful adventures. Use it wisely.
 
Ted, congratulations! Welcome to the Eternal Order of Blind Flying Pilots!
 
Thats great Ted I frankly had my doubts but glad you proved me wrong :rofl:

Nah never had a doubt. now file every flight for the next 6 mo and get it drilled in.
 
Congratulations Ted!!! Time to start on that Com. Ticket?
 
You should have told that bum off and made sure you kept your certificate. Don't take that kind of beating!

Wait... Oooooohhh... you meant you got a temporary certificate for with an instrument rating? I seeeee.... Nice job!

:D
 
CONGRATS TED!!

Now if I can finish up soon, I'd be a happy camper. OK back to the books for me.

I just filed my first solo IFR flight plan! Looking at the clouds, I may get a few minutes of actuals this morning! Woohoo! :D

The next thing for me will be multi-engine, as soon as I get the details on my training for it worked out. That will help me get towards the required 250 hours for the Comm. Comm (SEL and MEL) will come when I hit that magic 250, followed shortly by CFI.

The DE said that he wanted to talk to me when I got my CFI, as he said he needs a good one for his business. I thought that was quite the compliment, and I would certainly enjoy working for him, so we'll see what happens! :)
 
Congratulations!

I had to "surrender" my certificate at the end of June, for the same reason! I intended to file and fly right away, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Instead, I got my tailwheel sign-off in the Cub. Now I know what those people are talking about by flying airplanes with the third wheel in "the right place." I would highly recommend it!

Fly safe.
