I just have to say that I am extremely proud of sweet Husband!
He passed his instrument check ride yesterday!
He is now an instrument rated pilot.
Next step, getting his commercial rating, which is super exciting.
He will finally be able to get paid for what he loves to do!
Anyway, back to the check ride.
He worked so hard to get all the hours and requirements done so he could take the check ride.
A check ride consists of a ground or oral testing, Husbands went for about two hours and then they go on a flight with an examiner that is just under two hours.
In the flight you don't just fly around.
Husband had to wear foggles, which are glasses that only allow you to see the instruments and not outside. Crazy! Right? Not being able to see out the window!
And you have to keep a certain speed, elevation, and heading...ok just about everything he did had to be in selected spot.
It also was quite the windy day, which is not a good thing!
But he showed that plane who is boss!
I really am so proud of Husband.
He is amazing!
