Yeah, it was a really long flight, I needed 1.7 as per the 141 syllabus, however the DE went on a tirade for 30 minutes while flying in the airplane talking about straight and level flight and how everyone was always learning the wrong thing. So that added some unnecessary time to the hobbes.

I am just happy i passed so I wasn't about to say anything negative to him about it.

Thanks guys!

Congrats! Feels great to have it done doesn't it?



Though I do have a question for you. Since you're getting your CFII why would you get your IGI? Seems like wasted time and money to me.

Congrats man. Sounds very similar to my CFI ride back in Vero. Which examiner did you get if you don't mind me asking?

Yup. I was glad just to have passed. I got the straight and level lecture as well. Thought it sounded familiar.

You would think that they would bring that to attention during SE standardization with the IP's then.

How long ago did you do your ride?

Welcome to the club Craig, congratulations. I got a speech from him on my CFI ride but it was about my chandelles.

Oh well.
