I took off with a guy who had his mother in the rear seat just after lift off she started screaming and I do meaning screaming- She was having some sort of fit and frightened to death, she continued screaming all the way around my short circuit until I touched down making it very difficult for me to fly the aircraft and talk to ATC.
Note to self: Always carry a mallet in flight bag!
Congratulations Screetch!
Now I have to get the RT license test done. Any idea how this is done and what to expect?
The R/T test is fairly staight forward. Probably varies depending on where you do it. When I did mine, I was given the option to just do the test or have a practice first. The practice is a very good idea and it cost an extra £20. I recommend you do the practice first!
The test was around £50 and was basically sitting with a headset on with a make shift radio panel going through the r/t of a pre-determined flight while the examiner pretends to be ATC sitting in another room.
Mine was a AA5A flying from a radio only field, transitting a MATZ and then SVFR through a control zone, followed by a Mayday, and finally a Pan call.
I was actually more nervous doing the r/t then I was doing the flight test but that's probably just me!
They tell you straight away the result, and then (hopefully) fill out your license aplication form.
