Pre-takeoff checklist
We see lots of posts about students who are finally taking their checkrides.
Well, here's one from the opposite side of the fence: I just signed off a student for his final prog check, leading to his FAA checkride.
I, myself, feel like that same student. Excited. A few jitters, but confident we've covered all the bases, and that we're about to unleash another pilot into the great blue skies.
He'll be taking his progress check in the next 10 to 12 days, Wx and personal schedule permitting. Then, it's on to the FAA for the final checkride.
I think he'll do great. He's mastered all the PTS tasks, and beyond.
He has done it himself, in spite of me.
I just sat there in the right seat and talked a lot.
Maybe too much, at times.
NOTE: Cross-posted from the Red Board. I don't know why I cross-post, except I have friends on both boards who don't necessarily read each board.
