Do those “pre-check ride butterflies” ever go away?
For the first episode of 2018 I wanted to complete the story of probably my best accomplishment of 2017, which was actually starting and finishing something. I got my multi engine rating!
Training was completed in the fall and then I had a bit of a stressful wait due to schedule and poor weather for almost a month, before I was able to fly the test.
After cancelling and rescheduling 3 times, we caught a flyable window just before Christmas, and I passed.
Yay!
I’ve done a lot of types of check outs and things with various instructors over the past few years, but this was the first actual flight test that I’ve done in over 15 years.
It was amazing how visceral that pre-check ride stress feeling was leading up to the test – it felt just like my first private pilot checkride.
Do those jitters ever go away?
Thanks to my multi engine instructor Kevin for being awesome, and thanks to Spectrum Airways for for tolerating me filming with their planes 🙂
