The Quiet before the Battle
« on: July 06, 2010, 02:53:44 PM »
Man, I can relate to this one!  Call me a coward, but I always died a thousand deaths before all of my checkrides.  It didn't matter how many times I said to myself, "I am superior to ANY test!"  I always get the butterflies every time.  Its even worse today because the stakes are higher. 

These days I just say to myself, "Ah no Biggie...  its just your entire life and career on the line."  Still doesn't help settle the butterflies.   ::sweat::  Now where is my Rambo gun so I can face that examiner like he really is the enemy?!?!?   ::rambo::

one of the advantages I had lately is that we only have one rotor-guy at our FSDO right now and he kinda knows less than me about helicopters and kinda ran out of things to ask me about.....  ;D
there are only so many questions you can ask I guess........

But I am sure I'll be nervous all over again next time I have to do one with a new guy or FSDO......    ::sick::
