So this is day 4 after the day I was supposed to leave(Tuesday) trying to get my stage done. So I went up today, big mistake since it's friggen 102!!! Did the whole stage check right up to the last thing, engine failure in the patter and single engine in the pattern. However my pandsy ass was getting pretty dehydrated by the end of the flight and basically quit functioning when doing my short field landing. So I had to incomplete the single engine stuff in the pattern. The thing is, is I am not out of money and cant get any in until Monday. Oh fun fun!!! Pretty dang bizzare isn't it? I'm in such a great mood right now. <---- that is not a smile of happiness. All I had to do was suck it up for another 6 minutes.

Did you just think you weren't flying that well or was it just getting to hot in the cockpit? Good job on completing all the rest of the stage though.

Well, I pretty much did the rest of the stage perfectly to standards. So then when we were doing engine cuts on the runway I was kinda letting the plane wander around a little to much and my stage pilot thought that I was flying a little differently than before and then noticed I was getting pretty pale. So we just took it back to the ramp after that. I dont even really think it was dehydration. More like extreme stage check jitters. I never used to have this problem up until I unsat a stage check. I used to go into them with a "meh, whatever" attitude. Now I get all worked up over them and I think it just took its toll on me this time since its such a long stage check.
