Actually, I passed the ultimate test yesterday -- going back in the
plane with my instructor a month and a half after finishing my PPL.

We went up for an hour of instrument work under the hood (my first
partial-panel work, including recovery from unusual attitudes, and a
lot of VOR work; he's promised me an ILS approach next time).  The
instrument stuff didn't make me nervous, but the visual landing at the
end did.  My flare fluctuated up and down by a foot or two, but
fortunately the wheels came down gently enough.  After facing that, I
wouldn't be afraid of a stadium full of spectators.


All the best,


David
