Well I managed a 170 (pre-test check ride, full IRT profile) in 1.1 hours airborne. That was quite busy. Passed though.

Before that I had a gear failure on my PFL on the CPL skills test. I went through the drills plus some shaking and about 2g, finally achieved 3 greens. Then my examiner (CAA employee, note) tried to cycle the gear back up and down!! Even my Mum knew that was the wrong thing to do and she's never been taught to fly. Fortunately I had already pulled the emergency release and not reset it, so it would not even try to retract, and got down safely for an incomplete test.
