Filing Flight Plan
The Phone rang at 10:15am the rough gravel coated voice asked if i wanted to get the stage check done this morning. My reply..."Heck Yea!! what time?" my examiner said "How soon can you get here?" I got dressed faster than a man getting caught with another mans wife. The drive to the airport was pure excitement. I was doing 80mph in a 65 jamming to some metal trying to get pumped up. The jamming and preflight rituals seemed to work well because most of my anxiety dissipated.
After i checked the weather than finished my weight and balance we were gone. We headed out to practice area Echo were he asked me to set him up for a power off stall...Went over flawless got my radio call done, BCGM list, clearing turns, the whole kit an caboodle. Next power on stall, this went same as the first...great! after some emergency procedures we were back in the traffic pattern at KCKN.
The one thing that i just botched were my landings. I could not put that birds down gracefully to save my life today! But I guess i was being extra critical because of the circumstances. After a quick post-flight discussion got my log book signed, soft field TO/landings and cross countries here I come!
