Thanks guys.

I've heard good things about the examiner. I hear he lost one finger and has some pretty darn good stories to tell. I hear he is also more of a situational awareness kind of guy. So less of the practical stuff and more critical. Fuel, weather, this and this happening...etc.

Now get your head in the clouds SOLO and ASAP while you are sharp. It will be an important confidence builder. You might want to take it easy at first using a thinner marine or stratus layer. Congratulations and DON'T FIXATE!!!!!!!

It went pretty well. Ground was probably less than an hour. Went over the cross country FPLN went over some charts and some fars and that was it. Flight was simple. Held everything within 5kts and 10 degrees and 100ft. Did 3 approaches. ILS and 2 GPS unusual attitudes and holds. That was it.

Logan UT.

Flight program at Utah State University is quiet nice. WE fly DA40s as well. Fixed pitch.

Now just make sure you remain current! Hate to see CFI's come in for interviews who haven't been instrument current over a year and their skills have degraded significantly.

Also suggest relocating to an area such as the Pacific Northwest and putting a good number of "actual" hours under your belt. Will help in the future, guaranteed.
