You guys n gals have been super helpful and supportive on my journey this far and I’m super pleased to share I did my skills test today and got a pass.
Literally the worse two and a half hours flight of my life but that was mostly due to the temperature today, I was saturated mentally and with sweat between the heat and nerves I was a wreck. Examiner was a gent did everything he could to calm and reassure me but my nerves defo got the better of me.
Shameful landings, safe but not pretty when I got back to the apron and shutdown I just held my head wasn’t sure if I was gonna pass out or upchuck thankfully neither but I was convinced I’d failed and was pretty embarrassed at the performance I’d just put in and at that point was mentally empty, I kinda just wanted to get some water and lay down and was like fail or pass I wanna go home.
The sun did a number on me
But I passed, I was almost too exhausted to be happy or show it at least but now having been home a couple hours been fed and watered I’m on cloud nine.
Thanks for all your support and help over past two years, my journey and learning is only just getting started but I’m great full to this place for the role it’s played
