|  Passed commercial ASEL
passed the commercial airplane single engine land checkride today! Granted my flying was the worst I can remember it being in a long time -- guess that doesn't matter too much as long as I passed LOL on to the CFI-initial.. |

On another topic, I thought the instructor was trying to bust me when he said (at 1500 MSL / 1000 AGL) to start a chandelle. For a good 30 seconds I argued/thought the DE was trying to trick me. He contineud by saying he doesn't trick during checkrides/wouldn't fail me and the maneuver simply had to finish no lower than 1500 AGL /shrug Also, Make sure you select excellent waypoints for the cross-country -- I failed to see my second one until it was pointed out to me (it was a small airport LOL) | |

Anyone passing thru Nashville looking to build time..holla at ur boy. What aircraft did you fly? I will be doing mine in a bonanza...all the best.

Nice work man. I am just learning the commercial manuevers this week, since I am doing my Commercial single add-on. It is nice to go back to VFR manuevers and ground ref after the IFR and multi training. How did the oral go? |
