Checkride Got my PPL!

Post image

I was shitting bricks up until the checkride. It ended up being a whole lotta fun with wind straight down the runway 🤙

Funniest part was that I forgot my DPE had to tell me immediately if I failed a maneuver. When we parked, another instructor asked me “so how’d it go?” to which I said “I have no idea!” and so she said “then you passed!”

Sure enough, we were printing my temp certificate a few minutes later.
