Evan Krueger rose from the ashes when he posted a blog last January. He had been missing in action for the past few months. But, it was for a good reason. He passed his private pilot check ride, which earned him his Private Pilot's License. Of course, the test was hard, but rewarding. After getting his license, Evan devoted all his time to school, and temporarily set aside the world of aviation.
He reviewed all procedures, regulations, and materials. Evan prepared all paperworks, too. The day before his examination was the most tiring because he gave every part of the training one more go. Evan's test was scheduled at 9: 00 AM. He was there two hours earlier to fill out more documents and review more. Bob, his examiner, was there at there on the dot. They started with the oral part first. Evan aced all of the questions, except for the part about taking care of emergencies.
At 9: 00 AM the next day, his check ride would start. He arrived there much earlier to submit other paperworks. He was able to review some more. At the prescribed time, Bob, his examiner, arrived and they immediately got it on. The check ride consisted of the two parts: oral and practical. So far, Evan was doing well. In the first part, until Bob asked about emergency procedures. He thought that he failed the test already because his examiner had to lead him to the right answers.
He was supposed to land on a piece of land which he thought was full of soy beans, but was corn instead. After a couple more of routines, they were getting ready for a short field landing. Like before, Evan was doing great before Bob asked him to "turn around right away." He was so sure, at that time, that he failed. When they were finished, he was waiting for Bob's reminders, which was given to him. He was even more surprised to know that he passed the checkride. Evan filled out the last few documents, and proudly held a temporary pilot's license.
After that exam, Evan looked back to his logbook and recalled all the digits. Based from the records, he had a total of 167 landings and 43.7 hours of flight time. His total expenses were at $5, 953.20, which included his rental, flight instruction, a test, check ride, and miscellaneous supplies.
