When I posted about being Ramp Checked during my training seven years
ago, the general feeling was that pilots get ramp-checked on the
average of once per flying career. Many have never gotten checked in
30+ years of flying.

Being on my first long x-c when it happened, I was a prime candidate to
screw something up but it was relatively painless and took all of 3-5
minutes. I had a rental and the aircraft even had only a temporary
registration cert. If you got your AROW covered, you're 95% there.

I just did a search of the group for ramp checks, and the last entry
was 4 years old. Anyone want to share a recent ramp check story?

ps in visiting over 75 airports, I've yet to be checked
