If specified, this will replace the title that
I just got back, well a couple of hours agao anyway, from my initial commercial checkride. I did it in the Apache so it was a multi-comm to boot. I passed.

It went well (I even passed on the first try

) and really straight forward. But, damn it's just too friggin' hot in Southern AZ at 11:30 a.m.!

So now it's on to the the CFI-ME/CFII ratings and eventaully all the single engine stuff. But first I think I'm gonna learn how to really fly an airplane and get my tailwheel endorsement! I'm really looking forward to the tailwheel, actually.

The totals (if anyone cares):

328 Total Time
288 Multi Time
39.9 Single Engine Time
260-something PIC (Mostly Multi but some single)
120-something Sim. Instrument
2yrs on 8/27/03 from the day I got my Private.

I'll post the details in the Checkride Forum but the computer I have access to on the weekends is behind a firewall so I can't really get to fancy in terms of posting.

Anyway, I think I'm gonna get a steak and a nice cold Heineken and just relax tonight.

Congrats.
 
Thanks all! I'm flaying Sat and Sun (this coming weekend) in the Champ - looking forward to it.

pkloop - my father, brother and I went in together on a PA-23 Apache (twin) - that's all I've been flying.
 
Yeah it is too hot Doug - the state should pay its residents hazard pay or something to stay in-state over the summer!

When I passed my commercial, the examiner said nothing to me, I followed him into the office where 8-10 were sitting and B.S.ing, he turned to them and said "Here's one more jerk who thinks you should pay him to do this!" It was a good feeling.
