FINALLY!

I finally got my instructor rating! I can finally sleep again and go back to being a regular person who is not constantly stressed and not on the verge of a mental meltdown.
I can't even begin to describe how good it feels to be done with this check ride.

The day consisted of two parts that I had to prove I could handle.

First I had to hold a theory lesson about warm fronts and cold fronts and meteorological codes (METAR, TAF and SWC). The lesson went great except for that I ran 15min to long. I didn't anticipate the check pilot to as talkative and active during the lesson.

Second I had to instruct a lesson in the airplane with the check pilot as my student. I got level turns and the traffic pattern.
The whole lesson went very well, the mistakes he made were very easy to detect and correct. He was a much sharper student than my instructor ;).

Anyway, I have my flight instructor rating finally and it seems that I might be getting my first student pretty soon.
What is also awesome is that I'm currently going through the technical course on the An-2 which I will soon start flying skydivers in!

Exciting times lie ahead my friends!
