Added some stuff I can do!

Added a Commercial Multi-instrument today! What a long day with several little issues...and prop that wouldn't unfeather but a great examiner that was not only amazing to work with but had some good flying experience advice. Next is the single engine add on, hopefully soon!

:D

Good deal!!

Commercial ASEL from AMEL is no biggie. Let me know if you want any lessons learned from mine.

Re: Added some stuff I can do!

Congratulations on your achievement! That has to look good on your license. I'm curious though. Why go for the multi first? Clearly, getting the single add on will be easy after what you've already accomplished, but I've always approached my flight treating incrementally. I flew for a lot of years before getting my instrument rating, and then took more time of before getting my commercial. Both were SEL only. I never have made the jump to MEL. What's your driver? Just curious.I imagine there is a new swagger in your walk now...

In what kind of airplane did you take your exam? Did it finally unfeather, or did you have to land that way? I flew an Aztec many years ago that occasionally had this problem.

Re: Added some stuff I can do!

Thanks all!

I am doing it as I head towards becoming a CFI & then MEI. I would love to teach on the side or maybe work part time for something for a little extra just for fun.

I did my check ride in a Travel POS! Air! BE95/55. And no it didn't unfeather....well it did all but once in training and then on the checkride it decided to rear it's head again. Luckily the examiner was okay with landing and getting it started again.

It was a good experience especially after not getting a new certificate for several years! I hope to knock out the Single engine add on and then head for the CFI/I after. Meanwhile I gotta take the ATP written so I can beat the 31 July 2014 deadline!
