I'm glad Rich is here. He gave me two excellent checkrides, for both PPL and CPL.
If there's anyone who knows the 300 better than he does, I'd be surprised.
I especially enjoyed my PPL checkride, which took place during a desert monsoon (no exaggeration) complete with towering cumulous clouds, winds gusting 40+, and the opportunity to report to the tower some brush fires started by lightning. Since rain does not mean cool in Phoenix, we had the doors off and got a nice shower as well.
The man knows his machines. He's forgotten more than I'll likely ever know.
