I understand what you meant.  No hard feelings, I just misunderstood.

Below is a response I got concerning Eds recent check ride. He was kind enough to allow me to share it with the list. Please stop hitting me, I'm starting to get mushy.

Bill,
Go head and post it for others to read. I don't want to give my ID as to where etc. except to say it was on the West coast.

Hi Ed.

That's great news and thanks so much for passing it along. I have been getting beat up pretty good out here and this was a refreshing change. Would it be ok if this was posted to the list? I know that others have had a similar experience, but yours being so recent might help someone currently struggling with this. If you prefer to keep this private, I certainly understand.

Thanks again and enjoy your flying!
Bill

.Bill,
I am 80 and got my pp in my 415c at the age of 78 with no restriction. The test was given by a very strict examiner. I followed the golden rule. Don't ask don't tell and greased that puppy in on the final landing.

Dan:
In no way was I trying to belittle Kim’s question. My point was that the most expeditious way to get a pilots license in a coupe without restrictions may be tonot ask so many questions. There are clearly folks out there who took their check ride in a coupe without any restrictions being put on their license. Examiners I have talked to tell me in the oral exam and check rides they are basically trying to figure out if you are going to be a safe pilot. My suggestion would be to give them a chance to do that and don’t force them to add restrictions that they otherwise may not be inclined to add. Again, I’m sure this is a minority view.
Respectfully,
Bill
