Scott Manley | Passing My Private Pilot Exam - The Hard Way @scottmanley | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
It’s true, I finally passed my private pilot exam on my first attempt even though it involved flying to a completely different airfield at the last minute to meet the instructor. There’s no video of this because I wasn’t supposed to record this, so instead here’s my take on the story.
If I had more time I would have done this whole thing in a different way, it would have made things easier, but in the end I think I’ve come out with more skills and experience than the average newly minted private pilot.
