The camel went through the eye of the needle - I passed!

I learned a lot on the test and I think I might do some more instructional work as well.

Two things I learned :

Don't be afraid to pull the power right back to idle if necessary, 1500-1700 rpm on approach is a guide only.

You CAN do steep turns at 500 feet with two notches of flaps at 80 knots, although its a good idea to have the fuel pump on just in case.

While we are trained to be gentle, coordinated and precise, don't be afraid to be rough if necessary to get the required performance.

Now a three week wait for the licence to arrive.
