Mang's goofy photo + Practical tips on doing a checkride with Rex at Williams

photo of CFIG Ed Skuzinski on left. Great guy and great instructor!

Ok after the longwinded story here are a couple of practical
notes/tips on doing a checkride with Rex at Williams:

- know the speeds of your glider very well and be able to quote them
immediately
- when Rex tests you on soaring weather, you should know more about
the RASP than the METAR!
- know what the weather forecasts / conditions are for the day of your test
- expect to be asked questions that go into real understanding, not
just rote learning (but you're not expected to have advanced
understanding at this stage)
- stay calm... it'll be ok!
