One of the scariest moments in my flight training to-date occurred yesterday. It happened on the ground after 40 minutes of circuit-bashing. Back in the briefing room my instructor turned to me and said:
"You should really be considering applying for the flight test"
If I didn't go pale, I certainly felt like all of the blood had departed from my face. I'm not really phased by tests per se. It didn't really bother me that I had to do my written exams for the second time last year. If you're ready, you're ready and I nearly always no the outcome of a test before I start.
The flight test, though, is completely different. While I done more important exams in my time this is the one which is most important to me. The one I most want to pass. The one everyone expects me to pass. It scares me.
