Luckily the weather got perfect for a flight...Prior to the exam , i flew to the area where we will be doing the maneuvers and I practiced some maneuvers. Made sure I know the wind directions, and i know few roads/light towers to show the Ground reference maneuvers. I goto the examiner's office early than I planned. This time I made sure I got the Hood with me(the one which I am comfortable with). At 3.00 pm sharp, the Examiner calls me inside his office. We complete the paper work and we leave. He does a briefing of what I should be expecting that day. Here we take off, and started doing all the maneuvers one by one. Unusual attitudes, VOR navigation, Ground reference Maneuvers, Emergency landings, and Steep turns. Wow...Done with everything but just one landing, Emergency Landing from pattern altitude. And we completed that too. Cool...I am back and after parking the airplane, the Examiner says "Congratulations". Wow...I am a pilot now. Very Excited..
Then he did some debriefing on what i could do better and what I could use some more practice on. I got the Temporary Pilot Certification and started back home. Jerry came to pick me up from the field. I thought I could do some celebrations but since Jerry had his bike licensing classes the next day, we hold off the celebrations to another day.
