Flight Training Continues

I flew down to Douglas, GA today in order to take a Commercial Check-ride with the FAA examiner there. I passed oral portion; however, by time that was over, two hours later, the weather had deteriorated just enough that I could not (chose not) conduct the check-ride portion because of low ceilings and wind gusts. It will take longer and cost more, but that's aviation!!! "Got time to spare...go by air." The examiner commended my good ADM (Aeronautical Decision Making). I then flew back to Atlanta (IFR) and will try again next week, or when the weather is cooperating. Amazing...I took off heading north towards Atlanta and the 3000 foot "white blanket" (cloud layer) disappeared! Warner Robins and Macon looked great from 6000 feet. I saw all the JSTARS down below working the pattern. Then a few minutes later was let down to 4000 foot and slid right in under the ATL approach, just east of Stone Mountain and into PDK for a greaser! -Jeff
