Ok exam went as follows.
Left Weston for Kilrush (via Kilcullen to avoid prohibited area around curragh). Had to deal with Military control in Baldonel to get through Restricted airspace R16, and R15.
Kilrush to Kilbeggan, but stoped at Monasterevin to do upper air work, as we got a break in the cloud level here, and might not have been able to do upper air work later.
Did stalls, steep turns, instruments etc here, and then PFL.
Then asked to divert from current location to Kinegad.
Track radial from BAL from there (mind going into R16).
Back to Weston for ciruits incl flapless.
That's pretty much it!!
Constantly being asked where are we now, and how can you positivly identify that town or location.
Flight log worked ok great as well, as wind info was accurate.
Examiner was very nice. Helped put me at ease both before and during the test.
All in all, SAFETY was the name of the day.
Time apx 2 hours on ground incl 1 hour planning and 1 hour breifing/questions. 2 hours in air, and 40 minutes post flight de-briefing and paperwork.
Hope the info helps.
