PK, when my dad was teaching me to fly he would purposely create a stall senario. Then, "where you going to put the plane down at". My answer had always better be, "wings level, best glide angle, fuel on proper tank" first. As you've seen, here in OK we have lot's of places to make emergency landings but most forget the first three things to do. Hope you never have to do one for real. Getting your Private Pilot license is a real accomplishment. Hopefully, the FAA will not make it unaffordable in the near future.
BTW, what did you take your check ride in?
