The Insurance company wanted a 1 hour checkride and endorsement with a Flight Instructor before solo flight in my new plane.
My instructor had an opening (student cancelled) on Saturday. So I dropped everything and went to the airport and preflighted so I would be ready when she was.
I had no flaps, but she (and I) did not seem to be bothered by that fact.
So we flew.
Steep turns, climbing turns, spiral descents, slow flight (harder without flaps), straight and level flight, etc.
Kinda like any other checkride.
3 landings. (Still no flaps though)
I am signed off for the aircraft. Plus High Performance endorsement.
Yeah. Now I can fly it whenever (VFR conditions permitting, of course) I choose.
