Looks as if you were busy.

Final Approach
Yeah.. It was a bit of a handful with winds 270@14G25. Not too bad, though. It gave a bit of a 'fudge factor' along the way.

Looks like you did a good hold.

Final Approach
It felt a LOT worse! Went missed on the ILS 36, climb 3000 direct VOR. Climbing out in the RV gives me 110KIAS/1600fpm. By the time I climbed out, got tuned into the VOR (one VOR/LOC in plane) and got a bearing to the VOR, I was scooting along at about 200kts GS. Before I knew it, I was AT and PAST the VOR. Luckily, I never lost my bearings in reference to the VOR and was able to talk my way through a VERY rough hold procedure. It looks a lot better on the map than it felt in the air. ha!

You have a report to go with that? A sequence of what you did?

Final Approach
Uhhhh... All I can remember is "Burlington Traffic, N277DL departing 30, Burlington"...... everything after that was a blur until "Burlington traffic, N277DL, clear of all runways, Burlington". ha!

That's what I was thinkin. My ground track looks more like a bowl of spaghetti. Nice work, Chris.
FYI... there's a way to get these tracks to show up in 3D (with Altitude) in Google Earth. PM me if you're interested.
What they said -- nice hold!

Hmmm... Not sure.. I think I read about it in a book somewhere.
For those of you that don't know -- Tony was my CFII that got me to the point I could perform to at least minimum standards on the checkride.
