Checkride done
 

Well today did my checkride and it was the closest thing to a monkey on a football I've ever seen. My examiner actually told me he hopes he gets to fly with me as an FO because it would be a blast lol.

Shortly after doing my airwork the trim broke. I thought it was something they did since we are in a sim and all. So I just said my memory items, did them, then asked him if it was cool to use the backup trim. He said sure. So I started flying using it. It's much more sensitive than the one on the yoke.

So after doing single engine work ect using that damn backup trim under your elbow I shot a hand flown single engine ILS and landed it. Then when they reset me I asked if I could get my trim back because my arm was killing me. He looked at me like a deer in headlights and said something along the lines of "You've got to be shi***ng me". So we went back and forth a bit on why I didn't say something to stop the checkride. I said because I thought it was something they did and they just kept saying "hell no!". So outside of that things went great. Good ride. I can't believe he just thought I was using the backup for the hell of it.

Anyway I don't know when I start IOE but this duck's about to start flying again on the next phase of life :D

Duck, watching your development from a CFI to a regional has been a great joy. Keep us posted.

And we could have told your examiner you're a blast! We've known it all along.

So what are you going to go with for a roller bag?

I already told you once. It's time you go to the doctor and get those roids looked at.

Man I'd love to see someone carry that bag thru a terminal wearing his uniform. Imagine the look on the Captains face.

Looks like a backpack, is there a mathcing roller bag and man purse to complete the set?

Congrats!!!!!!

I was wrong. You are sharp. And no it's one piece

Grats TD!

(filler)

Good luck on IOE

Duck, where are you based? Congrats on the ride.

Congrats on the pass! Where are you based and who did your checkride? It only took them 3 days to have my IOE scheduled after my LOFT.

Hey, Duck

A big congrats to you, I did mine FRI, LOFT sun, and start IOE Thurs, can't wait. Its a big relief to have it done. Best of Luck

Duck, FWIW, I used to carry a backpack to work myself. Not a Hello Kitty one, but a backpack nevertheless. :)

It all comes together on the recheck...

Vaga I don't carry one he's just doing his best to be an idiot and doing a good job. Strikes me as someone who complains a LOT.

Anywho thanks all. Did mine with Scott at flightsafety HOU and am based in CMH. Not answering my phone for rest of the day today.

I'm glad you can have a sense of humor about the whole thing. I'll bet flying a 4 day with you would be a blast:rolleyes:

What was the above guy referring to when he made the comment about the "re-check"?

That I did a re-check.

congrats on finishing up Duck! Did you ever find out who broke into the Truck? Chuck Norris would just think about his bag and it would suddenly return to the truck just out of fear!lol

Nope and on a crappier yet somehow funny note it was broke into again last night which was the 1 week anniversary from last time. They took my stareo this time lol. I'm gonna have to get rid of that thing it's a magnet.
