Well the Oral was indepth.... went over the entire PTS.... and about an hour discussion on my age...(im 19)...and how that will effect my teaching, and students views on me. The flight was only .8, Steep Turns...Lazy 8's..S-Turns and a Power-Off 180 back into lawrence...Eaasssyyy flight, he flew about .5 of it....

Thanks guys...start teaching soon.

Congratulations!

I did my Private ride with him 17 years ago (*@#&! I'm old now) when he was a DE (I think he's with the FAA now). I remember it well -- tough but fair, and I remember lessons from that ride even today. That was also out of LWM.

Good luck teaching...your paycheck won't make you feel like it, but your job is very important. I have seen more airline candidates fail because of bad fundamental private or instrument instruction than anything else. That is to say nothing of the lifetime PPL holders who will be toting their loved ones around for years to come.
