Well this is what it's all about.
It's 12:30AM and I'm sitting at my desk in my room at the Days Inn in Ft. Lauderdale, FL the night prior to my biggest checkride of them all. The big kahuna! the mac daddy! the double whopper with fries... the initial certified flight instructor checkride.
11 days straight studying for this checkride with an examiner that goes by the name "Pinkslip" Pinkston. A pinkslip is what you receive when you fail a checkride. So you can only imagine how long he's been around and how many trees he's killed along the way. I've studied as much as I possibly can, and at this point in time. 12:30AM the early morning prior to my checkride, I either know it or I don't. Hopefully the amount of knowledge I've soaked up over not just the last 11 days but my 13 years of flying off and on, will be enough to satisfy the only person that matters... "Pinkslip" Pinkston.
I hope to be on my way home tomorrow afternoon after passing my ride and chowing down on a filling lunch with my friend Conrad who's flying with me on this trip. I'll let you all know how it goes as soon as I can.
I would ask you to pray for me, but by the time you read this I'll be knee deep Federal Aviation Regulations with "Pinkslip" or well through my ride by then.
