Yep, All i have to say is dont stress out too much, that's when things obviously goes wrong. It's not really all that hard to be honest, just know what you need to know and git'er done.

Let us know how it went.

Goodluck

Just remember you wouldn't be doing your flight test if you weren't ready. The instructor reccomened you and doesnt want a strike in his/her license ... so that means your good to go! So relax, think everything through, if you're going to deviate, or have deviated, tell the examiner what you are doing and why. If you say you are going to do somthing ie maintain specific airspeeds/altitudes...then do what you say!

Not sure if you've done the flight test or not - but I like to usually tell the examiner (ground briefing) to let me brief him/her and then at the end if she/he has any questions she can ask them. Remember just like any pilot, review is always needed from time to time. Many times you might brief the examiner's on a few key things that hey might not even remember much about which will automatically make them not ask any more questions. I have personally witnessed this many times.

Be calm and collected - it's hard to imagine cause the person beside you is marking you but be the best, the most professional, and the most relax pilot you can be - that's how well ACA will require you to perform one day, so you might as well get used to it.

Good Luck and keep us posted !

Flight test is tomorrow.

Keep one thing in mind. They mark you on a per-exercise basis. It's a hell of a lot easier to go up and redo one thing than to redo the whole damn test. If you screw something up forget about it... I think you can even ask the examiner for a min while you clear your head.

You can fail 1 or maybe even 2 and still have a partial pass.
