Line Up and Wait
Student pilot with roughly 38 hours flight time. All requirements with the exception of a little simulated IFR time are complete and checkride is scheduled. Little nervous but also have faith in my ability and faith that if my instructor thinks I'm ready I must be doing something right. I'm scheduling 2-3 flights a week until my checkride to practice things I feel less confident in and maintain proficiency as the checkride is over a month away. I also understand that the weather in the PNW could prevent a good number of those flights which brings me to my initial question.
What winds are you comfortable with? I was supposed to fly today and the forecast was calling for winds in the teens gusting possibly up to 20 during my scheduled time. I held out hoping the forecast was wrong. Called into the ASOS and reported winds were 12 gusting to 20 so I decided against it.
