Rescheduled Checkride Thursday..
My checkride just got moved up by a couple days, got about a week to study like mad!
And for the time being, I'm no longer a student! *until I decide to go for my instrument rating) Got the practical portion of my checkride in this morning. Some early fog threatened to derail it, but it cleared up enough and the DPE said to go for it.
Only comments he had were that it seemed like I was trying to force the plane onto the ground during my landings and to make sure I'm letting the plane settle on its own.
Now to figure out my first $100 (or $250) hamburger trip...
And for the time being, I'm no longer a student!
Congratulations! And now you're just a student where you're in charge of the lesson plan. Keep that mindset and have a great time
Yes, it's amazing how quickly you can get sloppy without a CFI next to you. I am lucky and have been flying a lot with my dad, CFII, as one of my main passengers. It helps a lot to have someone who keeps you honest otherwise it's very easy to start thinking that being 100' off on altitude during cruise is fine.
Any plans for your post-certificate flying?
Already? It seems like just the other day you started. Good luck!
I'm pursuing my PPL. I've got about 38 hours, with my first solo under my belt. Now I just have to do my night XC with my instructor, and my solo XCs, and by that time should have the required 50 hours and be ready for my check ride. Hopefully all goes well.
Just landed back at my home airport as a Private Pilot !!!

I was finally able to take my wife and kids with me on my first day of being a Private Pilot last night! Hopefully this serves as some encouragement to those of you still working towards their license.. Awesome feeling ! As you can see the boys were excited !

Passed my checkride today. Hot and windy, and definitely not one of my better days flying, but I passed. Getting checked out in the club 172 tomorrow morning since all I've ever flown has been the 150s our club has.
