Check Ride is Done!

After 65 days of training Check Ride day finally came and I passed. So now I am lucky enough to be able to fly the line in the Eclipse 500.


I have to say that the training was a lot tougher than I expected. My chief pilot sets a very high bar and it is up to us to meet those standards. The last few lessons are very busy and very stressful at times. We cram a lot of approaches into a very small geographic foot print as well as a short amount of time. The Check Ride was actually easy compared to the previous lessons.

A big thank you to fellow captain John H for taking these two shots of me shortly after my Check Ride. I might be able to post some more of John's awesome shots of aviation as a Linear Air pilot sees it if I am lucky.
