Hello all, this is my first post here and I am pretty much asking what the repercussion's of the above action will have on my flying career... Basically I got to the very end of my check ride and thought that I was golden, but ended up in a tricky situation... I was told to expect the ILS 21L into KPRC but not cleared so I was supposed to hold at the CRADI fix, the DME at prescott is currently out of service but that was not really my problem. I was flying in a cessna with the g1000 so I loaded the approach just as a back up and elected to fly the approach and hold just using the localizer to show that I wasn't dependent on gps. Anyways, the gps asked me if I wanted to do the procedure turn, and I said no, thinking that I wasn't doing the procedure turn, I was doing the hold, that was my first mistake... I entered the hold correctly and started timing, but then the instructor asked me how I knew I was abeam CRADI, long story short, I was not able to explain how I knew I was abeam CRADI, as well as a few other mistakes, and I unsatted holds... I elected to continue the checkride inbound and execute my final item which was a precision approach... All and all, I passed everything in the check ride except for holds, so now I have to do one or more flights with my instructor and then go out and do a hold and possibly anything thing the check instructor feels necessary. I guess the question I am asking, is 1. how do I know I am abeam a fix when there is no gps and 2. How will this come back to haunt me for lack of a better word?... Thank you for your help in advance....
