My boy better not be signed off

I find it amazing that they choose to ignore all the sophisticated technology and instrumentation at a pilot's disposal. Crazy.

At 1:21:20 I do disagree a bit, first thing should always be to fly the airplane, checklist definitely important but if that will stop u from safely flying the aircraft then it should wait, besides that great stuff and learnt a bunch for mine

I don’t want to hear anything about DEI again

Just want to point out that those operating under BasicMed can now act as "other than PIC" in an aircraft and, therefore, they can now be a safety pilot even if "not acting" as PIC.

Glad to see Todd back on KZbin! Todd Brittany says hi and she misses your wife’s cookies!😁

GREAT CFI, I was teaching large class for private- Commercial for written test and was a check airman for the school. Love doing mock oral for the students. And hope people like this CFI are continuing the great mock oral. - Legacy Airline Pilot here.

Great questions, unwatchable answers; please release a version without student responses.

This is great information on how a checkride is conducted, but the "student" constantly answering "I'm not sure, or I haven't seen this before" is extremely frustrating. It becomes a hindrance in trying to learn at the same time as watching. If I was a CFI, I'd be embarrassed to have them sit for the oral portion.

bro needs to study bad

My checkride is in less than a month, this helped tremendously

I’m so confused as to why a school would post this considering they are endorsing a checkride for a student with little knowledge of pretty much anything. That was hard to watch. Stain on the CFI and school, on top of probably leading many other students to believe this level of knowledge is satisfactory, when it isn’t.

great video thank you!!!

Great test, nicely shows the correlation. Foreflight SV is not useless but there is much room for improvement in the terrain information even though holding the entire world in good detail is a pretty big dataset. For instance you can't tell that the terrain is inhospitable forest which is a very different outcome from a nice field.

Amazing well explained video!!

Lol?

Big respect for the student!! I hope you passed your check-ride.

Great video!

My Checkride is in 2 weeks - thank you for this video!!! I’m so nervous and feel like everything has to be done perfectly. This puts my mind at ease.

I am so proud of this student for bettering himself in this public forum so other future students can learn as well. My daughter and I viewed many mock check rides so these helped a lot!

Anyone trying to prepare for an instrument checkride, download pilots cafe for free (or donate), and make flashcards out of all the acronyms. Your 90min will be far better spent. 66HITS, GRABCARD, MARVELOUS VFRC500, all the different IFR altitude abbreviations (DA/MDA/MEA/MOCA, etc.) When studying weather theory, we came up with the acronym’s DOC and ICU for high and low pressure systems. High pressure because docks are higher than the water, air moves downward, outward, and clockwise. ICU because you might be six feet lower soon, inward, counterclockwise (it’s counter productive to be dead), and upward. And brush up on all your fun acronyms from private, like IMSAFE, AAVIATE, SPARROW (adds supplementals, like G1000, and placards), NWKRAFT, PAVE/PPPPP, ATOMATOFLAMES, FLAPS, CCCCC (when lost), DVMONA, 30FTDUC (reg renewal). One of my favorites is for convective sigmet, or EAT SHT. Embedded thunderstorms, a line of thunderstorms, thunderstorms with significant rain to the surface exceeding 40% of a 3K sq mile area, surface winds greater than 50KT, hail greater than 3/4 inch at the surface, and tornadoes. Valid for 2hr’s.

Just got my PPL today, watching this to see what I’m in for next lol!

That transition at 50:00 was hilarious

I am a well season spin instructor in Indy with over 3000 spins and hundreds of CFI endorsements. This is one of the BEST explanations I’ve ever seen on spins. Exceptionally well done!

Jhope ,is damp insane, choreography,spin his hands like plane starting to flying.

Amazing DPE…. Does a great job leading the student to the answer! Hope mine is similar to this

This is so much better than the king school online course. This clears up all the confusion I had! Thank you

Really enjoyed the podcast

Dam that video is epic, very enjoyable, well done on the livestream too👍👍👍👍

Excellent explanation!!! Thank you very much!!

oh man. bro needs to refresh weather theory.

Thanks fo sharing

I use these vids as a gauge of my general knowledge. Damn I know a pretty good chunk. Did my mock oral today, and aced that... flight part could've been better. High teens and gusting 26. Ooooeeeeeyyyyy... it was bumpy.. Passed my Checkride Dec 11th. Flight time 1.0. Gusting 22kts. NO FACTOR. 😂😅

thank you for this video

Thanks for another great video Gold Seal

Excellent presentation, very true to the actual event. I like that you don’t do the viewer the disservice of presenting a mock-oral where the CFI just shakes hands with the students wang the whole duration of the evaluation. Checkrides are TOUGH and preparation/training needs to reflect that fact.

22:42 Is this staged or was the student for real?

Why doesn’t he give the answers to the incorrect responses

91.169 - An alternate is always required unless: - *Have an approved instrument approach at your first airport of intended landing and - 1-2-3 rule

0:03 ok

PARE in Spanish means "STOP". PARE the spin 😎🤙

Damien is incompetent as an instructor 😂😂 I wouldn’t ever stay with him

Any other ATP students recognize this guy from the Elevate videos? 😂

Over 50 years ago I owned a Citabria and played around a lot with spins. Sometimes with pieces of wool taped along the trailing edge. I Agee with you. My understanding is the wing that drops first produces more drag than the higher wing that is still flying sort of. Opposite rudder increases airspeed over the lower wing producing lift and reduces airspeed of the higher wing causing the plane to level out. Simple, then you pull out of the dive. My record for continuous spins is 31 starting from controlled airspace. Illegal spins at night with only your landing light on causes lot of ufo reports, only did it once.

I operate out of a class d and on departure/outbound, I always open flight following with my first call to ground, even before my taxi request. They’re a busy class d and sometimes they give you your “on request” when you’re halfway to the runup area but the controllers are great. I’ve never gotten swatted away.

Would have loved to hear the debrief.

😬

Dam good video
