|  the INSTRUMENT ride
Finally windin down the celebration so here comes the summary of how it all went down: Ground session started at 9am did all the 8710 stuff and examiner read his plan of action for the whole checkride so there was no suprises. I showed him my flight plan from Durant to Houston Hobby. Created off DUATs with the proper arrival then put it into our school's flight plan form. He approved of that then we went over to the computer where I read a METAR and TAF. Apparantly knowing what PROB30 meant on a TAF is impressive. Sat down again in the office and went over regs such as alternate minimums, missed approach procedures, when you can descend for MDA, Radio failure procedures for Route and Altitude what can be subsituted for and outer marker and etc. Then we went over radio navigation and GPS. Went over what full deflection meant in each. After ground went well we jumped in the plane. Flight started on taxi, did instrument cockpit check, taxied to runway, run-up then clearance direct to Ardmore airport via ADM Vor. Took off tracked that. Examiner acted as ATC. Reported runway closure at Ardmore diverted to Grayson County Airport via direct Ribby NDB. enroute there he cleared my for the ILS 17L, did my procedure turn, proceded down to MDA of 1280 then circle to land 35. Landed, took off straight ahead, did a steep turn at 3500, then unsual attitudes. Then proceded to execute a 10 DME arc north to Hanom where I did a direct entry procedure turn though he recommended parallel in our post-flight briefing, then shot the VOR-DME 17 into durant PARTIAL PANEL, went missed straight ahead to zegra intersection, teardrop entry procedure turn then shot a full panel GPS 35 in for landing and an end to the sweating  Word of advice, wind is a major evil to instrument students. Know how to correct for wind especially on holding patterns and procedure turns or you can get flustered really easy or even worse, get blown out of your protected area! Just because you PT outbound says one minute does not mean you have to go 1min out bound if you have a 15 knot tail wind! Good luck to all!

Congratulations on passing!!! That is so true about the wind. It has caused the biggest set back in my training! Thanks for the perspective! I'm looking to take my ride around the end of December or January.

congrats dude I finished my IFR checkride as well, always put in 2-3 times of correction from the inbound leg to the outbound leg to keep it insync.

On a sidenote and IMO, keep everything the same when flying approaches such as the 1 min OB on the PTs. In actual, you dont want to be guessing how long you need to go OB for prior to your PT inbound based on your GS.

First, Congrats on passing your Instrument Airplane Checkride! Second, why did the examiner have you do a steep turn? That hasn't been in the PTS for a few years. Michael | |

I would venture to say that removing steep turns from the PTS does not literally prohibit the procedure from being done. I am sure DPEs can work in reasoning for requesting the maneuver.

But they can't pink you for botching something not in the PTS, correct?
