Congratulations and Thanks for a great story.
I would have crumbled with all the extra oversight! The headset thing alone would have sent me to another examiner. I'm having a brain fart at the moment - what was the diff between flying the 270 radial upon crossing the VOR and turning 270 upon crossing? "Guy Elden Jr." wrote in message snip This time the controller instructed me to go direct ARD, then proceed outbound on the 270 radial. Or at least, I _thought_ that's what she said. Doh! I didn't realize my confusion until... you guessed it... it was time to turn! Well I started to turn to 270, then twisted the OBS to 270 as well to track from the station. As soon as I got on course, I keyed my mic to ask for clarification... first x-mission went something like "Trenton approach, Skyhawk 1234K, clarify 270 heading or 270 radial." No reply. Next x-mission, "Trenton approach, Skyhawk 1234K". Again, no reply. Oh, and did I forget to mention... the examiner noticed almost immediately after I got to 270 that I didn't know which to do... heading or radial... so he's bugging me about that, and I tell him I'm already on the case with ATC... ugh!!! |
