![]() "Wizard of Draws" wrote in message I'm #2. I took my IFR checkride twice and honestly can't say I'm embarrassed about it. It keeps me humble in the cockpit. My DE STARTED the exam by lecturing to me about how failure wasn't something to be embarrassed about, how the point wasn't to pass your checkride on the first try, and how the instructor shares the responsibility for failure, etc. The FBO atmosphere was something out of a sitcom. I've never seen so many instructors so visibly nervous. If I'd have opened the classroom door I'd have probably caught them all evesdropping. I was terrified, too. The previous week I heard the DE chewing some kid's ass about flap usage and a bunch of other things after a Private exam. Turns out, the kid passed. -c |
