Word on the street is that cforst gives great oral. He'll be fine.

check rides are the only chance you get to show off your skills to someone who cares

unless he says stop this ride keep on and dont crash

 

[Tarzan]

If you make a mistake..... DON'T QUIT!!!! One mistake in flying will not kill you, it will be a series of them. Don't quit over one! Good luck! This will be one of your more demanding flying rides. Oral is usually a joke.

uh, sounds like you're in florida. i'm gonna bet you have to put it off, but good lulck when you go. if you do go you'll get some great imc to do it in. watch out for that adf/ndb!

First of all, Cforst good luck!!!

That said, is it true that if at any time durring a checkride, the examiner touches the yoke, you're finished?

 

[sqwkvfr]

Don't forget to push the NAV/GPS button--if equipped--, and you'll do fine.

Good luck!

 

[jumppilot]

Horay For You!

Congratulations! You are well on your way to being a sucessful pilot making twenty grand a year and having a kids sired by your pool boy because you were on the other side of the country and couldn't nail your wife yourself!

if the successful/safe outcome of a manuever is ever in question, and the DE needs to intervene, yes you're done.

Don't get his hopes up, there's no way he could afford a pool, let alone the pool boy to go with it. More likely it'll be the mailman.

ken luckett did my oral exam. it went just fine. in fact, it was less of a test atmosphere and more of a learning session. if possible, i would have loved to sit down with him and talked for a few more hours. the way he ties real life into the points he's trying to make is entertaining and helpful. it's nice to get a realistic view of things.

as for the flight:
KEVB 081450Z 36025G36KT 3SM -RA BKN008 OVC030 26/24 A2983

i ain't going nowhere today take out the wind, though, and i woulda loved to fly in this weather! i am on for monday at 11 am. i'll let you know how it goes!!!!

Congrats on the oral CFrost!! The flight should be just as good, Luckett is a good guy to flight with when he's in a good mood!
