Passed my Captain oral yesterday. The day before that I passed the systems written with a 99. I missed one tricky question.
The oral went okay. I stumbled on two easy questions. During an oral exam the examiner will not acknowledge right or wrong questions. They just take the answer and move on....probing more if needed. As long as I kept talking, the event wasn't over.....just like as long as the sim keeps moving...the ride isn't over.
The examiner was satisfied with my knowledge. It is a double edged sword being in the right seat for 8 years. Over this time I filled my bucket with a lot of knowledge. A few years ago I stated I was ready for Captain after 4 years. I was wrong.
Next up is the simulator. I have a 8:30 AM showtime. I'm looking forward to flying the jet I was first hired into....for now a simulator will do.
Enjoying the brief updates, keep up the hard work!
