Passed my Check Ride!

Sport aviation is growing rapidly. But the new sport pilot / light-sport aircraft rules are still a mystery to many flight schools and instructors. To locate a flight school offering sport pilot training and/or light-sport aircraft rentals, click on the "Flight School And Rental Finder" tab above. This is a great place to share ideas on learning to fly, flight schools, costs and anything else related to training.

Passed my Check Ride!

Post by RyanC »

Well, yesterday I took my Practical, passed it, and now after 8 months of training I'm officially a Sport Pilot!

My CFI joked that it was the longest checkride he'd ever seen: I arrived at 8:00am and left the airport at 4:00pm. It wasn't really 8 hours -- during the oral portion, fog rolled in and conditions dropped to IFR. The DPE issued a Letter of Discontinuance but told me to give her a call if the fog broke in the next few hours. Around 1pm the fog broke, the winds calmed, and the sun came out. I did the flight portion shortly thereafter.

I was nervous as hell and it was admittedly not my best effort but I must have done something right or better than I thought because I got the handshake and the certificate. Now I can start to really learn how to fly!
