Congratulations on passing what I consider the most difficult of all the
ratings. I think you'll find it the most useful of any of them as well. Now
what you want to do is to get a copy of the practical ATP standards and make it
a practice to fly to them if at all possible. The sooner you start the less
effort it will require on down the road.

Flying an ILS to ATP standards is easy to do when you do every ILS approach that
way. Just another day....

[snip checkride and oral writeup]

Congratulations! Sounds like a Rich Batchelder checkride... I did mine
with him from Concord a few years ago, with the same result and very
similar agenda. A good checkride, one that I actually enjoyed (I got
into a good-natured argument with him in the air under the hood about
the GPS approach back, but still passed :-) ).

Terence,
A belated congratulation to you. I'm sure that your detailed
account of your checkride will be very helpful to instrument rating
candidates.

If flying time was only 1.6hrs out of the total exam time of
6hrs, how long was the oral exam?

I hope that you find another instrument rated pilot to serve as
each other safety pilot. It is difficult to stay proficient without
shooting approaches at least every other week. Enjoy your rating and
make the most out of it.
