Passed my pilots written exam!

Well, as you can see from the title I passed my FAA Private Pilot written exam last night with a score of 82%. Not too shabby. I needed 70% to pass, so I had a few over what I needed.
This was after a 3, 8 hour + days that surprisingly went quite by quickly. That's a huge weight lifted off my shoulder and now I can focus on getting my 10 hours of solo flight time out of the way before I get my final check ride.

I'm still a little rusty when it comes to some of the radio navigation in theory, but in practical I haven't had a problem with it yet.

Otherwise I've been greasing the landings. I've managed to get quite proficient with my airplane handling and can do very smooth landings (Weather depending).

now just to get my medical out of the way which is another story. That's the only thing holding me up at the moment...
