I'm assuming your post means you passed your checkride and got your cert. Congrats. You have just been given a license to learn, The training was just the tip of the iceberg.

Congrats Tupac, I got my ticket on my 17th birthday, many years ago.  Have fun with it but be careful, the first person I ever took with me on a flight was my mom. 
  We just had an incident down here where a fresh private pilot took some of his friends up to port Mansfield, and flew so low down the beach and over boaters that a few boaters had to jump out of their boats.  He is now in jail and facing multiple counts of assault, dont be that guy.  There was a day when we could get away with tearing it up but not so much any more.  Have fun, be careful, be safe, and if you can't do that,,,,,,,,don't name it after me.

Yes, I passed my checkride today and got my certificate.


Doc, you need friends to be able to go flying with them. Most of my (few) friends are pilots, and will tell me if I do something dumb.

An instructor told a  similar story, only the fresh pilot dragged a wing on the water and curtains for everybody inside.

Congrats Tupac!   :aok.  Welcome to the club of those who couldn't wait learn how to fly.  Now you have a license to learn.  If you ever have a day flying and don't learn something new, the you weren't paying attention and complacency is setting in.  

Best wishes and loads of fun in your future flying career!   :salute
