A note about my schedule:
My checkride availability is highly dependent upon my work schedule. My work schedule is finalized around 2000hrs Central Time on the last Thursday of every month.
If next month shows no availability, please check back again on or after the last Thursday of this month!
The Practical Exam
The last step into your future in flight.
You've taken your written test. You've flown all the required hours (and maybe a few extra). You've studied your charts, maps, manuals, regulations, ACS (or PTS), and chair-flown every maneuver possible. It's time for the last step: the checkride. You're a few short hours away from your future in flight. Let's fly!
