Idiot
I partial passed the test, which means that I am not finished yet. I am pretty pissed off with myself.
Due to my incomplete test yesterday, I only had one section of the test to complete today. It should have been a simple exercise yet I managed to bugger it up.
This means that I need to go and do a short flight consisting of a departure, and an ILS approach to land. It sounds simple but sadly that is all I had to to do today as well. I really didn't have a good feeling about today and so it proved to me. Probably a bit chicken and egg but it is hard to get positive vibes about something you don't feel good about.
On paper it should have been easy, I had passed 5 out of 6 required sections of the test and the 6th I hadn't been able to do for circumstances out of my control. I was overly worried about that one section, and i'm sure that didn't help.
It changes things/prospects a lot, but I think that I am just about over what I have done as it is in the past and I can't control it but I am now worrying about the bit I have to finish off. The problem being that if I don't pass this last bit, then it goes down as a fail and I have to start the test again, with the associated costs and negative impact on job prospects. I feel a bit sick just thinking about it.
I failed on the ILS section, something that I haven't really had problems with since the very start, so am dissapointed from that respect. Flustered, I also mucked up the landing by not going from Flaps25->Flaps40. Not a problem for the landing, but still a fail.
I am currently hiding away avoiding people who might ask me how I got on.
What I have to do now is go for a flight with my instructor, and iron out any (mental?) problems and then finish off with the examiner, probably in the next couple of days.
