This morning, the morning of my Checkride, I woke up at 3:00. This left me with 4 hours until leaving for the airport. I read over a few notes, but as other suggested, did not try to cram. Instead, got up and had a quiet morning and went over my Cross Country plans.
My CI and I flew up the coast to the airport, KLMB, which was about a 45 minute plane ride.
The Oral was actually much easier than I anticipated, I guess I really did prepare enough. My examiner wants me to learn a bit more about aeromedical related signs, but other than that, no problems.
The flight was solid as well. Very turbulent and a few times I felt as if I had two left hands in the cockpit. I got the feeling these examiners see alot worse and she seemed nonplussed by my little organizational challenges.
Anyway, it all went well, although of course my last landing, a short field was the worst landing I ever made lol. She told me that her asking me to throttle back was not appropriate and that she deemed that hard landing, her fault.
Back the FBO and a pass!!
I am so relieved and excited. I flew my CI to a restaurant, bought him a cold one and then flew him home.
Thank you all for the encouragement, I really appreciate it.
