i passed my faa check ride

i passed my faa check ride this morning. winds were high (close to my limit) and we had a DG (Directioanl Gyro) failure (frozen) on the way out (which was another learning experience). i almost didn't fly because of the winds but i had canceled yesterday for that reason and i figured it was time to "get off the pot".
passing this means that i now have a Private Pilot Single Engine Land (PPSEL) license.

Congratulations! I can't imagine being out in that kind of wind in a small plane. I was having a hard enough time in the SUV on the road...

Congratulations to you. I got my PPL on 12/28/07. I'm just trying to build my time and fly safe. I really enjoy taking passengers up with me. Especially the ones who have only flown commercial in an "aluminum mailing tube" and not a Skyhawk.
