You can say that again. Once you hit the line, there will be no more doing 180 kts like in the sim all the time. It will be 180 to the marker.

After almost 9 hours of waiting, I finally got into the sim. I was nervous, and I think it showed. I remembered to get the gear down. I started thinking about how everyone at airlinepilotforums was counting on me, so I stepped up my game and passed. Thanks for the well wishes. It really wasn't that bad. I of course had a lot of critique for myself, but on the whole, it wasn't bad. I didn't blow anything. I went around on the no-flap landing because I thought I was eating up too much runway before touching down. The checkairman told me he thought I'd have been fine, but he applauded me for getting out of a situation I didn't want to be in. Came back around to a longer runway and landed fine. So now, bring on the LOFT. I'm ready for a little relaxation and normalcy.
