Glenn Walter Smith

Started off with general paperwork and logbook review for the aircraft. No issues there, it took about 30 minutes. Then we went right into the ride, he asked me several questions related to seaplane flying, chart symbology, aircraft systems. Once we got through that, we walked out to the airplane and then I pre-flighted it while he was there. He didn't ask much during the preflight. We pulled the airplane out and then got mounted up. I made sure to offer a briefing on usage of the life vests. We got in and started up. Once we were airborne, it was a quick flight to the area he wanted to have me do my landings, which was on the north short of Lake Pend Oreille near Fisherman's Island. It was really windy out so we had to work to find the type of water to conduct the various takeoffs and landings, including Rough, Confined, Glassy. Let me tall you the rough was not an issue, it was bumpy as all get out. We then proceeded to taxi into the cay type area toward a mooring buoy. He wanted me to show him mooring, which I was able to do. I shut the aircraft down before getting to the mooring buoy and nailed it perfectly. Restarting was not an issue luckily and we then did a couple more takeoffs and landings before returning for a normal landing. All in all, SUPER awesome examiner, I would totally use him (I'm also an instructor).
