Ahhh gotcha.... And thanks... Always had held myself to some pretty high standards when deciding go-nogo, never had to do that w/ a job on the line... yet.

Just found out that my instructor did not like my time either, until it took only 9 hours in prep (incl the inst XC) to sign me off for the inst ride. We had to go back some 12 years to get the remainder CFII dual time just to qualify the inst ride. I assume the examiner felt the same, as I had the book thrown at me today in comparison to his previous exams. SUre feels good to meet those expectations.

Still exhaling....
