I know this is a mock checkride, but for those actually preparing for one: Please let the examiner speak and finish his sentences, and do not overshare as much as is shown in this video. You could piss off your examiner for not letting him finish his questions/sentences, you may come off as a know it all which may or may not hurt you, and you may or may not put yourself in a hole. For example, when the candidate in the video mentioned civil twilight without being asked about it, then he was asked about it and had to go search it. let the examiner speak, answer only what you are asked unless you know from the bottom of your heart you are 100% well versed on the topic. Other than that, great video.

+ 1000. Plus it makes you annoying af. Shut up dude

[@Nat3dawggs]

seems very realistic. I will say it's annoying how the student will talk over the DPE and not let him finish and will volunteer information. Some DPE's might get pissed and follow you down a rabbit hole or become a little snappy to match that.

Yeah but a lot of them aren't going to be good matured about it... Be positive and don't be a clown. BTW, some SFAR's cover limited weights over 12,500. SW2 at 14,000 for example remains single pilot without TR, some MSN's to 14,500. 33:37 the word you are looking for is "convective" aka popcorn, not to be confused with a line of *&^$@$#%!^ AND,. at 44:00 you won't want to start babbling or throwing stuff at the wall to the DPE. Here just set a reference the ensuing discussion so he know you understand - couch it all in terms of ISA. 48:15? I can't keep doing this. Did he pass?

This has to be one of the easiest checkride videos I’ve ever seen on KZbin. With other people being in the room, giving their own 2 cents from time to time, being able to just “google” the answers he doesn’t know, and the instructor just nonchalantly eating, this strikes me as a mock test.

Check rides are open book exams, of course if the applicant has to look up every question that’s obviously a problem. DPE’s aren’t looking for perfection but just want to make sure you know where to look up the info utilizing FAA documents like the FAR/AIM or your aircraft’s POH.

To clarify at 32:40 on the ELT talk. Batteries come with a life expectancy. There is a "half life" date marked on every battery so you know when its been half the batteries life. There isn't "50% of the battery used" or a "clicking and beeping" to note when the half life has been reached. The date on the battery should be the date of the half life/replacement date.

For the VSI, it's important to remember the wafer contracts as altitude increases, as opposed to expanding like the Altimeter does. Why? The VSI wafer is exposed directly to the outside static pressure, but unlike the Altimiter wafer, it is surrounded by a casing with a calibrated leak. The pressure inside the casing surrounding the VSI wafer is temporarily higher than the pressure inside the wafer *until* the pressure equalizes. Higher pressure surrounding the wafer causes it to contract, and the opposite when descending, it expands.

[@BATAviation]

Yes, extremely important to know for a CFII rating.

[@JC-cw1ww]

It’s worth mentioning that an instrument rating alone does not mean you have met the 10 hours of instrument training required in 61.127 for the commercial rating. There is a letter of interpretation about this which clarifies that unless the instrument training logged met the requirements for part 61.127 and is clearly documented OR the applicant receives 10 more additional hours of instrument training which does cover 61.127 with a CFII, then the applicant has not met the aeronautical experience requirements listed under part 61.129 for commercial pilots. I couldn’t start my commercial initial checkride because of this requirement.

[@J32driver1]

Just remember… You cannot supply the airplane and services...period. If somebody owns an airplane and wants you to be their pilot… That is legal. If you supply the airplane and services you are going to need some sort of approval from the FAA such as a 135 certificate.

Don't dig a check ride hole for yourself, e.g. when the DPE asks about the AIRMET (around the 15 min. mark). Just answer the question. You don't have to volunteer that there are 3 types: the DPE didn't ask....if he wants to know, he will bring it up....

[@zacharynorman397]

Btw, if I am not mistaken, @10:25 when you are talking about using the club airplane to fly paying passengers, can you do it? He says "no" which is correct, but then he says "it is a dry lease." I am pretty sure that would be a "wet lease" since they plane and pilot are coming together (not being procured separate). Am I mistaken?

Woah! that was fast... 1 hour oral... I made mine with a 4 hour oral and 2 hour flight for multi commercial. and did my end of course at school with a 6 hour oral....

[@BATAviation]

The oral was actually longer but we added it out parts of it that were non-essential.

[@BATAviation]

Four hours seems extremely long o me for a commercial oral.

[@predatorec]

My oral for ppl was also 6 hours, that was super tough... Those dpe's asked me absolutely everything... The hard part is that after the oral you go already exhausted for the flight check ride.

Skyvector has charts with a legend. It would be great to see another one of these with a mock student pilot that is not so cavalier. If you are acting confident and make mistakes its one thing. Acting cavalier and making mistakes? You don't look so cool. I have taken many check rides. Never met a DPE that thought anything was funny.

[@JuliusG73]

My instrument rating DPE was ATP, A&P, rotorcraft and airplane, flew corporate jets and been FO on RJs. The dude was a big time joker during my checkride. Talking about alternate airfield characteristics in his words “like choosing a prom date”. Long runway = desirable dress, towered field = mentally not crazy. Called all his applicants “captain”. He did all that to make the person feel better and more at ease. Lots of politically incorrect humor to boot. :-)

[@hollismunson7240]

If there is no Common Purpose for the flight with the scuba divers, then the flight could not be operated with prop rata cost sharing. Pro rata still needs common purpose, correct me if I'm wrong.

[@JC-cw1ww]

It's important to note that an IFR rating alone does *not* satisfy 10 hours of hood time required for the CPL by default. The 10 hours must specifically include recovering from unusual attitudes and partial panel flying. If you covered these requirements as part of your IFR training then it must be logged as such in order to satisfy the requirements of 61.129.

[@Tonysmart-uq8st]

This is incorrect. Some DPE’s even get this mixed up. But this isn’t correct

[@KP-bi1zu]

I have a question: I noticed when asking about overflying the aircraft after exceeding 100 hrs but not to exceed 10 hrs over the 100 hr you mentioned a special flight permit is needed. I can’t find anywhere in the FAR AIM where it states you have to have a ferry permit for that, could someone guide me to the regulation where it states that please?

[@tomeby886]

14 CFR 21.197.....has to be flown to maintenance station.

[@mckyttui]

I agree. I think that was answered incorrectly. 14 CFR § 91.409 says you can overfly it by 10 hours to reposition it for repairs, so you won't need a special flight permit in that case.

[@Tonysmart-uq8st]

Bottom line, after the 110hrs is when you’ll need a ferry permit

[@drewleevy5420]

[@eatchaka]

At 10:18, they mention it being a dry lease, but wouldn't it be a wet lease since the pilot is gonna rent the aircraft? and there wasn't any mention of holding out before hand. I am a bit confused why this would be a lease, any explanation would be greatly appreciated.

[@user-nr3jf1jd3t]

Bevin and Tom Aviation Actually I have qustion with pro rata share. Why is it illegal to get paid when you rent an airplane and give them a ride?

[@BATAviation]

배호준 That would be “holding out.” You need to be hired by an actual company in order to collect a fee and be paid as a pilot but you can collect pro rata share of fuel, rental expenses, landing fees and such. It has to be less than 50%. They just cannot pay you as a pilot to fly the aircraft. Does that help?

[@user-nr3jf1jd3t]

Bevin and Tom Aviation Ah so you mean I should have belong to commercial operator which mean i cannot solely carry passenger for compensation. Is this right?

[@BATAviation]

배호준 You can fly private carriage as long as you have someone that has operational control of the aircraft and it’s to limited customers

[@swaggyqwikscop0r694]

At 10:00 can someone explain how it’s a dry lease and not wet lease? You are providing the aircraft and your pilot service isn’t that the definition of wet lease? I thought you don’t need a operating certificate for a dry lease so if it really was a dry lease wouldn’t the answer be yes?

[@wueong454]

Thank you for great video. I have one question about eight's on pylon maneuver. I know there are some method to set up the maneuver like calculating time from pylon to pylon to make sure 3 - 5 seconds straight flight. Does DPE evaluate the process how candidate set up for this maneuver? Or they can just guesstimate the distance between the two pylons and start the maneuver?

[@BATAviation]

I recommend having your two pylons pre-picked before the check ride. If that does not work, then I was told by the DPE that did my CFI checkride that each pylon should be 20 seconds apart from each other that is approximately half a mile and distance. So you would pick one pylon, fly over it for 20 seconds, and then pick the second pylon. Exit the pylon so that you can re-enter the maneuver downwind at 1000 feet at maneuvering speed.. Then you calculate your pivotal altitude (groundspeed squared divided by 11.3.). When shoe come up with your pivotal altitude, you will circle back around to enter the maneuver down once again. You will enter your first pile on to the left at a 45° angle from downwind. setting up, this maneuver is very long and can be tedious but the pilot examiner is going to be judging how you set it up and execute it more than the actual maneuver itself. take your time!!!

[@mytech6779]

Excellent video very helpful. The only problem I have is around 42:00 a personal irritation for me. The change in Va with weight is pure urban legend, seemingly parroted without real understanding. (Made worse by the false authority of an acompanying math function.) The issue likely originated with someone that didn't fully understand how to interpret the intent of an old FAA design requirement (possibly coupled with poor or incomplete wording and definitions by the FAA). The plane does not get weaker as it gets lighter, nor does the maximum aerodynamic force change with mass. (There are some inertial considerations in large aircraft but those go up with mass not down and would be specificly called out by the engineers in the manual.) Aerodynamic force determines the actual load on the frame, and stall will limit the lift coefficient. Lift coefficient and dynamic pressure(CAS) determine aerodynamic force. If short on time you can stop the analysis right there, gross mass is not involved in any of that and because the wing shape is fixed the only variable in maximum total airframe load is CAS. Maneuvering speed is derived from "*design* load factor" not actual load factor. (Load factor being a specific representation of acceleration useful on Earth.) "Load factor" is not total load it is only one ...factor in the the load. *Design* load factor is not a maximum, it is a reference point coupled with desired maximum takeoff weight for determining required minimum strength of the frame. The stress imposed on structural members is a product of mass and acceleration. The structure only cares about the total; 2 mass and 5 acceleration, or 5 mass and 2 acceleration are experienced as exactly the same load and resulting stress in the frame. For slightly more detailed derivation of the physics go to the FAA web page for handbooks and get "Aerodynamic for naval aviators" Chapter 5 Strength Limits (starts pg-325/pdf-343) Note that the limit load factor changes with mass, but the product is always the same total wing load and thus the same Va.

[@Tonysmart-uq8st]

So your saying VA doesn’t change with weight?? And is urban legend… that’s an absolutely absurd statement

[@YoungPilotsFly]

Could someone explain 10:30 a bit more for me? My understanding of it is that you can’t fly a rental/ club plane for hire because it is seen as common carriage but I’ve never heard the term “dry lease” before.

[@BATAviation]

To our understanding it is a way of tapping around, and carriage… You lease the plane and use it for hire. It’s frowned upon by the FAA from what I’ve heard.

[@BATAviation]

It’s basically an airplane for lease with no crew.

[@YoungPilotsFly]

Ok so there’s no specific reg that I’m missing that says you can’t do it. Just something the FAA isn’t a fan of?

[@BATAviation]

@@YoungPilotsFly To my understanding… You probably won’t have to explain dry leasing in your oral exam
