The night when stress, chaos and sleepless night made sense!

It was the day of my CPL Flight Test.

I had waited for this day from the moment I stepped into that flying school, already been a year of me training I had already witnessed people passing and failing, attended their success party and it was finally my day.

I studied day and night, practiced the same maneuvers over and over again so that nothing could go wrong that day.

I had trouble sleeping the night before and I left my bed at 0400 in the morning opened my AFM {aircraft flight manual} revised all little details about my plane including limitations, checked the weather opened google maps looked for paddocks which i might selection during my forced landing simulation did chair flying 3 times revising and verbalising every manouvre and then went for a run.

i was nervous, i was scared but i had faith that i ll make it. There was a gas station I use to visit daily that barista lady knew about it and she wished me goodluck, wonderful start no?!

Then I got ready drove my car to the airport and the examiner arrived. My ground session started with him evaluating and assessing my knowledge in every aspect and the weather high temperature and low pressure {998 hpa). I wondered I managed by ground viva but weather could this be any worst and guess what it really could!

I had to deal with thermal turbulence at 2000 ft in the friction layer. Just like joey must have said, " why God why?"

Nonetheless my flight test started my first manoeuvre was short field takeoff followed by engine failure after takeoff then turns underhood, stall in a climbing turn, upset recoveries and soo on, there was a crucial point of forced landing.

I was recovering from a stall in a 45 degree turn when my examiner failed my engine and i had to glide the aircraft down. already in tailwind, poor performace and thermal turbulence. i choose my paddock and was nicely doing my check while sweating at the same time i realised i am 100ft high at the 1000ft point (that was out of limits cause the margin is +/- 50) and i correct myself announcing i know I am 100ft high but i can still make it i deployed the flap early and my plane fell like a rock to which i had to turn in early to shoot a stable approach. sounds exciting right? but i thought i failed but my examiner he was impressed he continued my flight test to the low flying zone where we were literally hitting our head to the airplane roof again and again and I finished my flight test with a short field landing.

After that my examiner said i ll see you in the breifing room. I still didnt knew the result.

I went in with trembling hand sipped my water. He asked,' how was it?" I replied," it was intense but good." He laughed," congratulations! You became a captain today!" trust me i was in tears, overwhelmed, crying my heart out!
