Instrument = PASSED ... 245.3

Hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
For the first half of the checkride all the studying and flying I've done the past couples months were not coming to me.
I got so backwards at one point I almost admitted defeat.
But I chilled out and kept telling him that I was turned around and was gonna try it again.
Eventually I got it.
And all this was just on the 1st approach.

The 2nd approach was something I've never done before.
I took the time to visualize where I was and what I needed to it.
I nailed it.
We drifted right down to the runway and when we went missed I got us back to the holding pattern perfectly.

The 3rd and final approach was back into Falcon and it was by far the easiest.
I got to take my foggles off way before the runway and he told me to make the best landing of my life.
I did.
We touched down and we couldn't even feel it.

Bill is a great guy.
I'm going to do all my checkrides with him
He's very forgiving and actually teaches while giving the exam.
Those are the things that will STICK.

By no means does this mean I can relax.
This checkride just showed me how much I DON'T know.
I'm going to jump right into my Multi-Engine Commercial now.
My Commercial Ground course should be coming in the mail anyday.
I'm going to try to ride the momentum.
I need to have all my Commercial stuff done by the end of March at the very latest anyway if I want to meet my June deadline.

Just in case I don't post enough picture of the Twin-Star....
This is my next chunk of training.
Mastering this beast...
