Default Got the ATP!

Passed my ATP checkride/EMB-145 type ride last night at 3:30 am! I'm very excited. I was fairly nervous, but luckily had a great examiner who put me at ease. After landing from a single-engine ILS, he asked me to taxi clear of the runway and run the after landing checklist. I ran quickly through the expected events for ther ride in my head and thought, "Is that it??" That was it.

Still a few more training/check events before I'm a Captain. But it sure is nice to have the ATP and my first type rating.

That ATP with a type looks really good when they hand you the temp certificate doesn't it?

Gotta love having to do your ATP/Type ride in the wee hours of the morning too.
