November 11

Super-Cheesy "Flight Instructor" image thanks to Google Image Search and has nothing to do with me what-soever

All of my flight requirements are complete. My written test has been taken and passed (95%). All that is left is the check ride. It is set up for Sunday November 11th. A check ride is not a 10 minute driver test down at the DMV. You have to set it up with a FAA approved "Designated Examiner". It will take about five hours. Before you even get in the plane, you have a full oral exam (why do they have the written?) and planning a full flight. In the plane, you have to demonstrate the not only flying skills, but navigation, emergencies, controlled airspace. Hopefully after all of that, Meg will feel somewhat comfortable about flying with me...

Pray for good weather!
