passed the commercial airplane single engine land checkride today! Granted my flying was the worst I can remember it being in a long time -- guess that doesn't matter too much as long as I passed LOL

on to the CFI-initial..

Keep indicated airspeed as constant as possible during 8s on pylons

On another topic, I thought the instructor was trying to bust me when he said (at 1500 MSL / 1000 AGL) to start a chandelle. For a good 30 seconds I argued/thought the DE was trying to trick me. He contineud by saying he doesn't trick during checkrides/wouldn't fail me and the maneuver simply had to finish no lower than 1500 AGL /shrug

Also, Make sure you select excellent waypoints for the cross-country -- I failed to see my second one until it was pointed out to me (it was a small airport LOL)
 
Congrats on passing your CSEL...I am hoping I can do the same in the summer. Right now I am having difficulty trying to find persons in Nashville to fly with. Anyone passing thru Nashville looking to build time..holla at ur boy. What aircraft did you fly? I will be doing mine in a bonanza...all the best.
 
Nice work man. I am just learning the commercial manuevers this week, since I am doing my Commercial single add-on. It is nice to go back to VFR manuevers and ground ref after the IFR and multi training.

How did the oral go?
 
Hey looks like I'll be taking my Comm Checkride the 1st week of May (AF Schedule permitting!) I'll try and remember all I can to help out too!
