Instrument Checkride on May 17th
On Saturday my instructor and I flew to Stewart International in
Newburg, NY for a few approaches. The plan was to fly out and do the VOR -27 partial panel a couple of times, followed by an ILS. After that we planned to fly to 4N1, Greenwood Lake, before returning to CDW. Partial panel holding had been my one sticking point. We flew the entire trip from CDW to the Kingston VOR, about 40 miles, partial panel. After reaching Kingston I entered the procedure turn and flew the approach. After reaching the MAP and flying the missed, my instructor informed the controller that we would be flying to 4N1 instead of shooting any additional approaches. His comment to me was that I couldn't have done a better job and although I was exhausted, I was pleased. We flew to Greenwood Lake for a VOR approach there before heading back to CDW for a LOC approach to Rwy 22. Once we were back on the ground my instructor informed me that he wanted me to call the examiner and schedule the checkride, which I scheduled for May 17. Now I have to prepare for the oral, which I'm not really worried about since I think I have a good grasp on this stuff. Hopefully the 100 on the written will help. Now I just have to make sure I don't make too many mistakes on the practical so that I don't have to do it twice. Thanks everyone for all the support. Cecil: I'll be thinking about you as I prepare.
