Getting a little stressed out...any advice? Oh yeah, and what's this "airfoil" I keep reading about? I kid...back to studying.
 
Get drunk.... now.

Kidding.

The advice is so simple it's stupid: relax!

Be confident in your knowledge and training and you'll do fine.
 
if the examiner asks something you dont know, dont try to bs it. just be like wellp im not sure but i can show you in xx.xx of the far/aim.

or you can be a dick and say "why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers?"

thanks oracle

HA HA!!

Actually I PASSED!!

The DE walks into the office and the first thing he says is, "We'll you'll be walking away with your ppl today...that is, if you aren't dumb...you aren't dumb, are you?" Kind of ironic!

Anyway, the oral went pretty well, nothing too difficult. I had to plan my cross country to PNS so explaining all of that special airspace kept him busy.

We got in the plane and took off for the cross-country. At the second checkpoint the clouds started to get darker and I could see rain in the distance, so I told him I was going to head back to the airport (2J9). All he said was we COULD go around these clouds, but for the sake of the exam I proved I knew what I was doing.

After that we did some steep turns, slow flight, a power-off stall, hood work, a simulated engine failure w/ a forward slip, s-turns and turns around a point. The weather started getting worse, so we headed back to the airport. First landing was a soft-field in the grass followed by a soft field takeoff in the grass...came back around the pattern for a short-field on the hard surface. By that time the clouds were directly above the airport, so we shut it down.

We got out of the plane and he says, "I didn't think you were dumb...congratulations!"

That's it. The celebrating continues until Wednesday...I'm starting my instrument on Thursday.

Quincy, Florida (2J9). It's about 15 nm NW of Tallahassee, FL.


My instructor just got a job and sold his plane, so I'm going over to TLH to get as much instrument training as I can before I move to Nashville in July. Anyone think it's a huge deal to split up instrument training?

You should be able to get it before July if you already have the money. I got mine in two weeks.
