My flight test was broken up into two parts. We first started off with the pile of questions the examiner had for me during the ground portion. That went better than I expected. Then once we got in the plane everything was going fine until we did the rolling instrument check and found that the turn coordinator was u/s. Nice of the previous pilot to note it in the log! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> . .. .Of course, there were no other planes available at the time so we had to postpone the test. I then had an unbelievable number of weather cancellations after that.. .. .Finally, after about 6 or 7 cancelled flights, I got to go. Things were going great this time until we were holding short of the runway waiting to takeoff. It was then that I noticed that I'd forgot my nav-log back in the school. I then had to shamefully request taxi clearance back. Up until this point, I wasn't nervous at all. But now I was sure that the rest of the test would be an utter disaster with my confidence being shot. Though once I commenced the takeoff roll, I forgot all about the incident and was back in my element. The rest of the flight went very well.. .. .So my advice, just make sure you've got everything you need before you hop in the plane. Double checking never hurts either.
