When the stuff hits the fan, deal with it and move on. Those LOE/SIM checks are brutal and intentionally so, just to prove that the ability is there if needed. The daily tasks are far more pleasant. And to be clear, spoken from the armchair, not the cockpit. You did it and apparently quite well. Congratulations. Move on, but please do not relax... Our dear friend Karlene will tackle her newest chosen task with her typical vigor. Those who have been reading her for x+ years know darn well that she will nail the task with glory; she knows no other way! -C<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-13372002469727420062013-12-17T18:55:59.421-08:002013-12-17T18:55:59.421-08:00Thank you so much Owen.

And... you are armed with the knowledge of when it's time to fight back. <br />You're going to love Flight For Safety.

Put one foot in front of the other and eventually you will be there.<br /><br />Last night was my LOE, type ride. I was prepared and confident. But right off the bat my Captain and I got hit in the teeth with problems. Most check rides slack off after the initial hit, but last night the hits never slowed. It was problem after problem, constantly cracking us in the face and body. <br /><br />It was brutal. I have been flying for 24 years and never had a check ride so unfair. Several times in the sim I thought we might be in trouble. My Captain later said that he thought the same. Both of us quickly drove that negative thought from our minds. Focused on what was next, and fought back.<br /><br />It sucked, and not until the motion was over and the examiner said we passed. The I started to get ticked off, because it was cruel and unusual punishment.<br /><br />When life gets tough, you have to fight back. That is the only way because to quit is to quit. I have been there before and will be again, I know the feeling of the person who sent this e-mail to you. There is nothing abnormal about the way they feel. Life just plain sucks sometimes, but you cant quit. Life isn't a video game where you can hit re-set and start over. <br /><br />You keep on going, keep pressing forward in spite of the flood of current that keeps knocking you down. If something is worth fighting for, it is doubly worth having. One day you will be past this point in life and will have other challenges. These new challenges will still suck, but you will have the confidence to continue because you didn't quit. You will be able to fight harder because you know what it feels like to fight. <br /><br />Embrace the suck because fight or quit, it will still suck. Might as well fight back and die with honor.rob akershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119682986212406304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-90788391157551903792013-12-17T10:17:06.418-08:002013-12-17T10:17:06.418-08:00We all have very different learning styles.

If a few things have to be reduced, you can do that. You have done the GRE before (how many times?) and you know that it is not that bad.
