I passed the checkride this morning! Thanks for the cards and letters. They meant (and continue to mean) a lot. I received approval from the examiner to include audio from the checkride in a future episode, so you can expect to hear the highlights sometime soon. In the meantime, it's back to Airspeed as usual. Upcoming episodes include an interview with Castrol aerobatic and racing pilot Mike Goulian, flying skydivers in the Super Otter with Dave Schwartz of Skydive Radio, and lots more.

Got the oral done today, but ceilings prevented the actual flight portion. Flight rescheduled for Thursday morning! |

Just checked the terminal aerodrome forecast for KFNT for tomorrow. Blech! Not looking good for tomorrow. Got an aircraft scheduled Tuesday as a backup, but I'd really rather just get this done. Not going to cancel until I get the TAF for KFNT tomorrow morning, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope.More later! |

T-minus 5 days until the IFR checkride! Flew a lot of sim today and I'm feeling pretty good about things. Lots of study to do, but I have a program in place and am excited about finishing up this rating! |

Got some sim time last night and made up a lot of my flashcards for studying. Also some ruminations here about backcourses expectations for the checkride.

Checkride Update for 1 October. 9:00 pm EDT at Kirby's Koney at Square Lake and Woodward in Bloomfield Hills. Off to a slow start. Spent most of the weekend and all day today at work. Went to Kirby's Koney for dinner and edited a bit more of the book. Going to go fly some sim in the morning. Probably partial-panel approaches to some relevant airports. Trying to get work out of the way so I can spend a few evenings studying my hiney off.
