I really don't feel like I "had it" today -- I felt like I was off. I
have flown much more crisply and much more proficiently than I did
today. But I figure that if I can pass a commercial test on an off
day, then I must be reasonably prepared.

I am relieved and satisfied, though I wish I could have demonstrated
greater level of proficiency. Oh well.

On to the CFI!

Congratulations. You performed proficiently enough to earn the rating
that's all that counts. I've never felt like my checkrides have
reflected the best of my abilities if it makes you feel any better.
Chalk it up to being stressed out... but at least you can see the
effect stress can have on your flying so always keep that in mind.

Good luck!



I never think that any flight in particular reflected the best of my abilities. There is always something that I could
have or had done better. I think that part of proficiency is seeing where there is room for improvement..
