Thank you everyone!! I've been on a cloud since I did my test, I thought I might actually float away!! It's two days later and I'm still celebrating!

At the end of my flight test, David said, "Maher's next!" I would get him to watch you do a pre-flight inspection. I thought I was being really thorough, but it turns out there's a few things I've been missing.

Mostly, I'd say just relax and fly the aircraft. He won't ask you to do anything you haven't done already. He'll go through the flight test with you beforehand. Be as precise as you can with your altitude and speed.

Bonne chance!! Faites-moi savoir comment ça se passe!!!

Mark ..
Your "signature"" struck a cord. thanks..marginality..... pushing the envelope.
Every flight I learn ... and being new ... I didnt really understand .. and Ive been lucky .. had a few close ones.... learned fast... recognising... .getting too close to the edge and not realising.... sobering ....changed my attitude / approach.. but enjoying it more.. feeling mature for want of a better word..
Cheers

Congratulations ! Now you have earned what rating ? ( private pilot or ????? )

What gyros have you flown in ? Do you plan on owning or building one ?

Is that a picture of you in your avatar ? Are you a flight nurse in Canada ? What is that all about ?

I hope you don't mind all of my questions, but I am intrigued by women gyro pilots !

This forum could use something interesting to talk about also. So be prepared !
