Passed Commercial Checkkride!!

Hello everyone! Well my license now says "commercial pilot" on it. For the past few weeks I have been reading others' posts here about their checkrides. I want to say "thanks" to all who have posted here. I would go through questions that other people had, and answer them myself. It proved very helpful today. I met with the examiner at 10:00 a.m. I was finished at 4:00 p.m. the oral was about 2 1/2 hours. The flight was 2.3 hours. I did the my airwork in a 182, and my take offs and landings in an Aztec. My instructor was also my examiner (Althogh the examiner cannot sign an applicant off for a checkride with themself.) So I had to fly with another instructor to get the signoff. It worked out great. I ended up with 10.9 multi! The oral was alot of aircraft questions (Aztec). V speeds, performance figures, "can we make it out of a 2600 foot runway? With full gross weight?) I have to go but I will come back later and write some more about my adventure today....

So did you get both the comm ME and the comm SE at the same time?

Congrats on passing the ride.
