June 18. Instrument Checkride passed with no major hiccups. The oral was not as punishing as some might make it sound, then again I have been studying like crazy even after the written was complete (iPad app with IR test prep comes in very handy here!). The flight portion was a whirlwind of activity, ILS, GPS partial panel - missed to the published hold, Localizer BC circle to land. It was hot, humid, and bumpy from thermals... but everything worked out great and my examiner was throwing out tasty nuggets of knowledge the whole time.
Now its time to set my personal minimums, and start planning some trips!
