This is HUGE! I PASSED My i-11 !!

It took two tries because I made a dumb mistake, but I passed my i-11 and have now passed all of the ratings. It's really a confidence builder :ugeek:
Now I am going to expand my boarders with more learning. Maybe for a while I will make up some of my own flights, try using some different aircraft and then attack those alphabet soup flights.
Thank you so much to all of the wonderful controllers that have been such a big help for me.
Getting through these ratings has become an obsession for me. It was getting stressful, but it's behind me now. (I feel like I need a cap and gown or something) Now I can relax, make my mistakes as they come, learn more, and just fly.
I have actually learned more about flying since I joined PE just a few months ago, than all of the years that I have been sim flying put together.

Thank you,
Bob

Congratulations Bob!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy :)

So now you'll have more time for coaching us newbies, right? :lol:

Honestly, well done, a great accomplishment and a great feeling of satisfaction knowing you are better because of this experience.

Enjoy...

Thank you Jiva! What a very nice thing to say! I appreciate it so much.
I know that you're having fun getting through your ratings too.
Although I have learned more in a few months of PE than in years of sim flying on my own, I still don't really feel like I'm very knowledgeable to be of great help to anyone, but I will always be willing to share any little bit of knowledge that I may have.
I'm always either reading about aviation, and watching PE workshop or other training videos when I'm not working or flying on PE, or trying to learn to fly and get used to a new aircraft offline.
I really appreciate the encouragement that everyone has given me.
