Flight Test

CPL Skills Test


My test started on one of those hazy , cant see S--t mornings, test was set for 10.30, i met the examiner, who went through his brief i went through my calcs and all that and told him my decision was not to go due to visibility, " Horay" he agreed but as he was resident and didnt have any more candidates that day I could wait around and make a deciaion any time during the day and let him know.

After marching up and down for a few hours , should i should'nt i, wanting to get it out of the way i could see a landmark 10 miles away so i said lets go for it.

After the customary walk around , "whats this" , "thats a stall inducer sir", whats that" "thats the static hole sir" we got in the plane.

I gave a quick re cap on the route, gave him the mandatory safety brief, went through the checklist maticulouosly its when i got to the point of............

Miture rich, prime engine, start engine........ "Excuse me sir can you vacate the plane while i get the keys".

Result = Pass

Did'nt feel funny at the time though
