Invisible Monsters Chuck Palahniuk just such a mind fucking book <| sep |> It was nice knowing me too <| sep |> South Africa in first sentence then SA in second . This bothers me more than it should . <| sep |> Don ' t try anything new on the flight portion . Do what you ' re used to doing . Do not be scared to go around just because it ' s a checkride . The examiner wants to see good judgement . The only times I ' ve had a student fail a checkride is because they ' ve either tried something new or didn ' t go around when they knew they should have because they thought it would make them look bad . The examiner will not fail you for a go around and will certainly appreciate the fact that you recognized when a landing would not work out and elected to go around . He ' s not testing to see if you ' re the best pilot in the world . He knows you ' re a PPL student . He ' s testing to see if you ' re going to be safe flying an airplane . Just show him that you ' re safe and use good judgement and you ' ll pass .
