Weather's nice today for a change

I'm doing my Stage 14 Stage Check at 3pm... everyone please wish me luck. I already passed the oral.

Good luck, you already passed the oral, its all cake now. Done this a million times. The oral is really the only part I get nervous about anymore. Let us know how it goes.

My student has his today, hopefully he passes so we can start on the second block.

Do I really have to dress up for this? I've been putting on black pants and collared shirt each time I reschedule this stage check... is this really necessary?

Not once have I worn a tie to a stage check. But I have always dressed up whether that be a khakis and a polo, or black pants with a nice button up shirt.

And yes, it is necessary. Makes a good first impression.

And to my earlier post, my first student to go through a stage check passed. I am 1/1 Baby!

Good stuff—congrats to, both, you and your student.

I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure we all have failed a stage check here and there. Forgetting that "gear down and locked, flaps 40" can turn a good stage check into a bad stage very quickly...

Who was your stage check pilot?

And there is no need to do a lot of review flights before the stage check. If you find yourself waiting two weeks for a stage check, it is your job to ask your instructor to do a flight for proficiency.

Ryan Carlson - he's a nice guy. I'm confident that I'll do better next time. I've learned to do another flight prior to my stage check if I have not been flying for a while.

I wouldn't sweat it. We've all been in your shoes at one point or another. Get a good review flight in and build your confidence back up, then go out and fly it like you know your capable of.

it happens. at least it happened now on the 14 and not on the 30.
