passed Commercial checkride yesterday!

By the time we got back, I knew I was a much better pilot for the
experience. I definately felt like I put way too much stress and paranoia
into preparation for the exam which translated into "checkride-itis." Way,
way easier than the Instrument checkride.

Woohoo! On Monday I start working on CFI.



Good for you. Now you might get people to actually ride with you. G

Seriously, I had many people who were originally leery at the thought of riding
in a GA aircraft calmed right down when I mentioned I had a commercial license.
It made all the difference to them.

As for me, it meant I could start the search for hours in earnest. While your
instrument rating is way more valuable to *you* as a pilot, this opens the world
of flying for pay to you. And I have to tell you, racking up hours is a bunch
cheaper when somebody else pays the tab.

Like I said, good for you.
