222 Stage 53

A buddy of mine who had his Monday said that the oral was the hardest one he has had and his took 2 hours. I was expecting it to be longer, but we moved through it pretty quickly hitting all of the major concepts and ideas.
 
Your oral was easy compared to my Stage 53. I had DOND (:banghead:) - the oral I believe lasted 3.5 hours. If you search the UND forums you will find my big long rant followed by a lot of sympathy from those who know all about the guy.

For the people that hate him, he was forced to resign at UND and was fired at Mesaba. Maybe that will make some people feel better.

I just searched through the forum and found the thread about your 222 stage 46. The guy asked a question about a box around the tower right? Just checking to make sure I was in the right place....:confused:

Because of "precautionary engine shut downs on the seminole" right?

I had him for stage 46 and could not get through NDB approaches with the guy. All my fault in some form. The first one I came in on the wrong friggen bearing, the second attempt I decided it would be a good idea to try them in 35 knot winds on the surface and 60 knot winds aloft. The approach was fine, but apparently when I tracked outbound I was way out by that grouping of towers to the north when it came time to turn inbound. I had him again for stage 99 in 325 which went great.

I actually wanted him as an instructor for 414, but couldn't get him. He seemed like a pretty knowledgeable instructor, just maybe a little poor at keeping you relaxed on stage checks. I really wanted an instructor who would be kicking me in the but throughout the course instead of just kinda going along for the ride like a few of my previous instructors.

Yes, that was the one - actually, it was stage 46 now that I remember.
 
Mr. King's the best. He has so many stories and experience. He always seems happy at the airport, too. Great attitude.
