Interesting that your examiner went up in actual. The guy my CFII likes
now doesn't stay instrument current, so in actual he requires that the
CFII ride along for the practical test.

Wow! That was the exact situation: He rode in back and my CFII took the
right seat. There were a couple of times when I heard her exhale after I
did something well, and more than a couple where I fully expected a quick
elbow to the ribs. :

Maybe it's the same examiner. His name is Wiley. It's a hard ride home
when you sure you've failed and your CFII is sitting silently in the seat
next to you. The oral exam, by the way, covered almost nothing out of the
ASA Oral Prep guide which I've been studying for two friggin' weeks!
