Fittingly, it was the 118th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ first successful flight of a powered airplane. The post Checkride Milestone — Christopher Gauger first appeared on Hangar Flying. On December 17, 2021, I officially became a pilot. I have a personal reason to celebrate December 17 from now on.

The configuration of the airport involved a line of hangars oriented on a North- South axis. Soon I held an envelope in my hand titled “George K.

Knowledge of these inspections is a required element to pass a checkride. Most of these checks can even be done as the airplane is sitting at the gate because they are minimally invasive, require less tools, and take fewer maintenance personnel.

You will most likely have to pull the plane out of a hangar or parking as well as put it back. Ask your instructor to include them along your journey so that when checkride time comes, you are not trying to get used to them again. Choose your headset carefully and don’t cheap it out.

Cram enough L–39 knowledge and skill into my brain to pass a type-rating checkride. Only if a pilot chooses the complete course with a checkride is an instrument rating required. The L–39’s Fowler flaps are clearly visible during the preflight inside Gauntlet Warbird’s hangar at Aurora Municipal Airport (left).
