PilotEdge Forums

I haven't been flying on PilotEdge as much as I want to lately and I'm starting to miss it! I'm reaching the end of my PPL Journey and have just one more dual, and one or two solos before I meet with the Examiner! Hopefully Febrary 6th, or sometime that week.

Basically I'm flying, studying, and doing flight plans so much that I'm just too exhausted to configure my sim at the end of the day. I'm looking forward to getting back to less stressful times and more relaxing evenings on PE in a Cub (my new favorite)

Also, I wanted to say thanks to all the controllers. My first month on PE, I flew like crazy and made my fair share of mistakes. I learned an incredible amount in just a few weeks of flying here - knowledge that would have cost hundreds of dollars and months of scheduling in the real world. As a result, my cross-country training and solos went very smoothly. I felt I was prepared for anything, and communicating with center/approach was just like I had done it on PilotEdge! This couldn't have come out at a better time for me.

See you all in February, ideally not as a student pilot!

Well, how cool is that?

Best of luck with your checkride, Colin. I'm glad that you miss us, but it sounds like you have your priorities right, and that PE has served its short term purpose for now.

Go blitz that checkride and dazzle the DPE with your comms skills and more important, your situational awareness

Best of luck, let us know how you do!

Best of luck, Colin.

For what it's worth, I found the following to be pretty useful in preparing for the oral portion of my checkride. Each examiner and candidate is different, so take it with a big grain of salt. Maybe it's a slightly different angle than the other tools you're using to prepare.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. That video looks interesting, I'll have to watch it.

I passed! I don't even know what to say, I'm so excited and exhausted. It feels weird after a year of constant studying and looking forward to this day but it's so worth it

Congratulations, Colin!

Congratulations!

Hey, that's great, Colin!

Congratulations! I'm almost there myself and it's great to read a bit of inspiration from others.

Blue Skies!
