Hi, John GV. I note your remarks about the effects of stress. Ridiculous thing was that on my test, I flew better than I ever did, before or since!!!
I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, this is simply how it happened. Stress affects people different ways, I guess.
I also have to say that i thoroughly enjoyed it, even noticing, and remarking to the examiner that I could feel the airflow burbling about on the elevators during a full flap approach, putting it on the numbers on touchdown, when asked to do so, and the stall warner going just as the wheels touched. Only about the third time that ever happened to me.
Exams like these can be enjoyable, and should anyone be unlucky enough to fail, then remember it is for your and everybody else's safety.
