I was inspired by fellow midlife pilot Dave's recent post on passing his PPL that I thought I'd have a crack at relaying my own recent checkride completed on September 13th.

A short holiday down to Tasmania recently presented an opportunity I couldn't pass up...hiring a plane out of Launceston and heading up to Flinders Island for a quick visit. Prior to leaving Adelaide I'd been in contact with the folks at the Tasmanian Aero Club at Launceston. My plan this time was to hire a plane and fly 'in command' rather than 'dual' like my other flights away from Adelaide. In order to do this I also had to book in for a check-flight prior to being given the green light to take Cessna 172 VH-TNM on my own.
