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.
