Hey everyone,
Monday was my checkride! I left with that piece of paper in hand that I had been obsessing about for the past 4 months. I actually think I was over-prepared! Yesterday I took my wife up as my first passenger (who is not a fan of flying even commercial) toured around for about an hour and greased the landing. She said I was a good pilot and that she will fly with me again!
Is it just me or is it normal to feel like.... whats next? Where should I go. What other planes should I learn to fly? Somehow I feel like I just cracked a door open to a whole new world!

Congrats Brad, it's certainly a milestone in anyone's life.
I didn't feel the same as you though, sure I just cracked the door open, but I was ready to enjoy flying my own plane WITHOUT my instructor sitting next to me. It's an adventure every time I take off and never gets old.

I have trained exclusively in Tecnam P92 Eaglet. Going to get checked out in the low wing Tecnam as they seem to get rented a lot less.Warmi wrote:Congratulations !

Not any other LSA rentals in my are that I am aware of. My FBO is about 40 min drive. I have another airport 20 mins away but they don’t have LSAs.
