The last few miles for the finish line..

After I got my initial CFI downt at Ft Lauderdale, I came back to Atlanta and went on a business trip to Bogota, Colombia. I had a great time down there working at the car racing circuit in Tocancipa.
When I came back, things were not very easy.. the reason is that you only get one training flight before your instrument CFI add on (CFII) which lasts basically 2 hours. I wanted to have my checkride with Mr Clyde Shelton down at Hunstville because I got my instrument rating with him and I was more familiar and felt more comfortable.
 When you sign up for the Career Program at ATP, you have a structured program with each lesson description and duration, the total flight time that you end up with is 115 hours.. which is what you paid for..At this point I had only 106 hours on the seminole, I have been on top of the game at all times and being ready for my checkrides before I finish each phase. ATP flight ops agreed that I had time remaining to fly down to Huntsville with a cross country student and take my checkride.
On September 7th 2012 I was at Briscoe Field with the other student ready to go up to Hunstville for my checkride..I haven't filed an IFR flight plan in a while, but , with this Foreflight app is a piece of cake. We flew down to LZU and another ATP airplane was there. I went inside the FBO and a student was there with a very dissapointed face.. I went ahead and ask him.. - "which checkride did you take?".. "Commercial" he replied with a very uncomfortable voice... I then continued.- "How did it go?"...
He just nodded and said.. "not good, we didn't even fly... systems, systems, systems,... I blacked out on the oral on systems and I'm pissed off at myself now"..
It looked that he really wanted to talk to someone so we chatted a little bit and I gave him some tips next time he came for his re-check.. I took my commercial checkride with Clyde as well and It went very good.
Then Clyde stepped out of his office and told me he could take me earlier and so I went inside.. after we went through the paperwork, we started talking about IFR regulations, aeronautical experience, primary controls for pitch, bank, power; he had me give him a class on holds and interceptions.. It went pretty good and then we went out flying.. It was very very hot, but I did good and I left MDQ being a CFII... one more to go and I'm done!
