Every one of my previous instructors said I flied real well and it was a slap in the face when that happened. Got my pink slip, but passed the 2nd time without issue, but God it sure was a reality check. Ok everyone...go ahead and laugh .
The education value of that was more than worth a pink slip at the PPL level.
