Instrument Checkride!

Well it's finally here! I will be taking my instrument practical test at the end of the week!
The checkride is where I have an examiner sitting next to me and testing me on maneuvers, approaches, and everything I've learned thus far. It's like a driver's license test where you have to parallel park and back up except a lot harder. There is also an oral part of the test which will be done at the same time/ before we go up in the air. When I pass my test, I will be instrument rated which means I will be able to fly in bad/ marginal weather by reference to instruments. This is one of the 3 major parts of the licenses/ experience I need to get to qualify to be a missionary pilot. After this I will begin to work on my Commercial pilot's license which builds on to what I know.
You can be praying for me that my test will go well, and that I wont be anxious but well prepared!
I'll keep you posted on what happens!
Fly with Christ,
Helen
