    ATP checkride

    Passed my ATP-multi-engine checkride as well as my CFI Multi-engine certificate in a Piper Navajo Chieftain N7694L. The ATP checkride can be taken before the 23rd birthday and a "Letter of Competency" is issued. On my 23rd birthday (9/12/1978) I exchanged that for the actual certificate. Total Time= 2395.7
