Got Wings!

I successfully passed the private pilot checkride. A dream more than 25 years old has been realized. I missed a short approach, and my use of rudder was not as good as the examiner likes to see it, but other than that, I must have done pretty well. Many thanks to Eliot for the outstanding training he gave me, to John, Shane and Tim for the stage checks, and to U.J. and Tom for trusting me with their planes. I did all my training with Diamond Aviation in San Carlos (KSQL), and the instruction I got there is aboslutely first class. Next step: getting an endorsement on Cessna Skylane 182T. Then I’ll move to my instrument rating.

Bravo chef ! Je suis content de voir ton projet avancer ainsi. Le lac Tahoe doit te paraître très proche désormais. Il doit en être ainsi de toute la Californie, même. Combiné à l’autonomie en plongée, ça fait des vacances qui promettent. Idem pour le tourisme des grands espaces (US, Australie, Chine). Mais pour l’archipel du Japon aussi, ce doit être assez pratique. Félicitations, et bonne chance pour la suite du parcours.

Embrasse May pour nous.
