I forgot my manners, I've been a private pilot for 3 months and haven't posted since.
I just wanted to say 'thanks' to the forum for all the great info. I really enjoyed the video of the oral portion of the check ride posted elsewhere. My examiner was eerily similar to the one in the video
Biggest problem for my check ride was weather. I had to re-schedule 4 times due to low ceilings/visibility. When I flew, I was still bumping up under clouds to get enough altitude for manuevers. No matter how prepared I was, I still didn't get much sleep the night before :insane:
I've already taken the wife to Montgomery Regional just to have lunch w/ friends. It's tough ponying up the $$ for a couple hours/month, but it's a dream-come-true for this 41 year-old family guy. The kids should be worried; their college money is in jeopardy if I find a nice RV!
Safe Skies!
