I totalled up my flying time. I had 98.8 hours before my checkride, the checkride was 1.7, so I had 100.5 hours when I was handed my Private Pilot License. Not what I was hoping, but I have no complaints.
In other news, my parents gave me a David-Clark H13-10S headset to celebrate the occassion. I haven’t worn it in the plane yet, but just trying it on at home I can tell you that it is wonderful. The gel ear cushions and the extra padding where the headset rests on my head make the whole unit very comfortable. It feels like it can be worn for long cross-country trips without any discomfort. The noise reduction in the David-Clark H13-10S seems a little better than the noise reduction in the Sigtronics S-40 that I used for most of my student pilot career (and which I liked a lot—excellent value!). Both headsets are passive and rated for 24dB noise reduction.
