Passed
Hey guys, just passed my Private check ride. The flight went very well, the weather cooperated and everything came together seamlessly (Even when the sun went down near the end of the ride... mental note on that one!)
Thank you to all the frequent posters on here that aided in the learning process!

Congrats, those are good times. I remember mine (a long time ago in a state far far away...) I did my comm/multi/instrument at Spartan.
First solo and first checkride are memories that stay with you. After a few dozen of them, it's almost routine. Even what I did today in the simulator will be forgot soon. Two engine flame out at 10,000', LOC only approach to missed approach, BC approach to landing, rejected takeoff, etc. Good times!
Enjoy it.

I had occasion recently to fly some dme arcs inbound to a back course localizer approach in a Skyhawk with vertical navigation coupled to a two-axis autopilot. It takes some skill setting it up, but then you just sit back and watch. It must be all the more challenging and fun in that jet sim.
