Passed my PPL checkride...

After a 3 month journey i finally took my checkride and passed. Now onto the instrument course. I'd like to thank all you guys here on APC for all the advice you guys have given. I remember coming on here like a nobody in hopes of one day learning how to fly and now i'm done with a small part of it. So far i've paid for everything myself, no mommy daddy money, just hard earned cash that ive been saving......ZERO flying debt.....Im trying to keep it that way as long as I can while i work on my degree.

What part of the test are you curious about...practical, written, oral??? I'd be more than happy to provide you with my two cents

Congratulations!!! Live it up! You're a pilot now!!! Woo-hoo! And no debt even! Time to celebrate!!!

I was just wondering about the checkride, duration of the flight, maneuvers, do you explain everything you do? just things like that. If you want to pm me flying13 that be cool, not trying to hijack shane's thread lol.

Congrats again man!
