Commercial Pilot Oral Exam | FAA Checkride Prep

[@ClickBoom290]

You can tell it's a real examination because the student is trying to make jokes to make him less nervous and the instructor is just a (polite) brick wall 😂

It would've been more realistic in my case if the DPE would've rolled his eyes at the student everytime he gave an answer that wasn't textbook 🙃

[@dogethsamurai2390]

Thank you They will check your readiness for flying to aircraft and see how prepare are you before putting you into the real aircraft. This interview would mostly talk about his mental state, how he deal with stress, what will he do if he is in some sort of difficult situation, they would talk about situation that he may face while flying, they would also test his flight knowledge, and they would also talk about his experience with flying that he have previously.

[@ProfessionalPilot]

I'm learning a lot from this for future use. He better be getting all the answers correct....

[@youtubeyerr]

He is not

[@DenisSuljevic]

Around 13:40 you guys talk about odd and even thousands i.e hemisphere rule...he responds, "it depends on heading" and that is incorrect. It depends on magnetic course. If your magnetic course is 350 and you have a wind from the right causing you to correct to 010 to maintain your course you are still required to fly an even thousand plus 500 VFR or even thousand IFR...rather odd thousand 500. Magnetic course 0-179 even...180-359 odd. Anyway love your videos! Keep them coming!

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

You are correct about course vs heading, yet anything east is odd and west is even(180-359) But during an actual oral, don't expect your wrong answers to be corrected by the DPE....per the letter of the law (ACS), stating something incorrect like that would end the exam. The average examiner (and the ones I have worked with) will simply gloss over it and pretend you said the correct thing as long as everything else is going well!

[@DenisSuljevic]

Talking about the ACS, do you happen to know if they still test on the ADF/NDB during the instrument rating/commercial rating?

2 Questions: 1) Are you aware of any where else in the US that has a military corridor like the one you have in Florida? It's the first time I've ever seen that. 2) How do you find out when there is or is not a fine for flying below 2,000' in a National Park Service Area? As far as the FAA is concerned, its a request, not a requirement. A park ranger or ATC might say something but in most places its not enforceable (still generally a good idea to observe the request and be a good neighbor). I know there are fines in NOAA areas but the fine comes from NOAA and the FAA doesn't care. The one at DARBS isn't a NOAA area or in anyway does it indicate there is a minimum altitude restriction of 2000', just a minimum altitude request of 2000... The FAA isn't going to take action against your certificate for flying below 2000 and even your comment in the video, the fine comes from the state of Florida not the FAA/Federal Government.

[@MrMR-sk8jm]

at 17:00 how do you know there's a fine? In the writing on the sectional, it says "All aircraft are requested to maintain a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet above the surface..." From that, I would assume it was something that is requested but not actually mandatory, similar to SARPs. Is this just bad wording in the sectional and is it truly illegal to fly below 2,000 ft?

[@leicasnob]

I'm not sure I agree with the answer to the question posed at about 5'47" on whether a client could rent an FBO's aircraft and pay the commercial pilot to fly it. I've posed this to my FBO and it's not clear-cut. The issue may depend on insurance and liability. The FBO may not be inclined to technically rent to the client--he or she would need to be checked out and insured. So the pilot would have to rent the aircraft--what happens if something happens and the client gets injured or dies and he's acting as a commercial pilot (as opposed to just a pilot giving a guy a part 91 ride) ? Where is the liability? Would the pilot's renter's insurance cover it? Maybe not. Would the FBO be on the hook? Even in the case of flying the client's plane for him, you need to check out HIS insurance--will it cover you if you get injured or damage the plane? Liability issues is something that is not discussed in commercial training. Ask lots of questions at your FBO before you do something....

[@tstanley01]

I think logistically you are correct, but from a legal standpoint of the FAA, they are supplying the airplane...whether it is a standard rental, a dry lease, etc...If I had a buddy who owned a Bonanza and he offered to dry lease it to me, and I had a commercial pilot that met their insurance minimums, it is completely legal...same thing with a wet lease....I would think the actual rental would be separate from the person actually acting as PIC....as long as the PIC met the minimum insurance requirements, it should be good....

[@FunkygrooveFunkygroove]

Good video ! But what do you think about the commercial oral guide ? I think that they are a lot of informations and during my checkride the examiner asked me a lot of questions 4h ground with his scénarios . and for me i dont know if the oral guide is vert necessary

[@SethyPie07]

Great Video. Is there anywhere that you elaborate on the "private carriage" provision. There seems to be a lot of conflicting info out there on the web. The FARs are a bit confusing and 119.23(b) is not reading the way I want it to hahaha.

[@gregfaris6959]

Unfortunately, it's kind of whatever the local FSDO wants to read into it that day. Here's an example : Three work colleagues depart an aerial photography/mapping facility one day on a mapping mission, with a Commercial pilot at the controls. After flying a few mapping photography lines, the flight path back to the office directly overflies the local airport of the camera operator, so they land there to drop him off, so the wife can drive 10 min to pick him up, instead of him driving an hour in traffic to get home. The CPL is cited with priveledges suspended for public carriage. That's a real case I've seen.

How can there be a fine for flying less than 2000 feet over a national park, when it is a requested altitude, not a required altitude?

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

the fine would come from the park, not FAA

[@officergregorystevens5765]

This is really valuable, too. Thanks, man. I have no real flight experience just simulator (not FAA approved) , and am 29 with some issues such as being obese, having high bp, a psychiatric history, being on 4 meds some of which might not be allowed.. but if I can i'd like to fly with an instructor and try to get at least a "sport" license but my goal is really PPL with instrument rating... is that possible given the issues I just mentioned, or is it a matter of at least things I have control over like weight loss and slowly getting of the kloonopin, suboxone, vyvanse first? I know meds like SSRIs are generally allowed now, but that's about it as far as I know. understandable. The psych issues are bipolar or major depressive disorder, a personality disorder, mostly a history of being depressed. That stuff is better ON my meds, but can't promise it would all go away off them. Sorry this is kind of long but it helps me to know at least some pilots maybe have read it. Thank you.

[@andrewenriquez3138]

Get in shape and your depression will go away like a mosquito and bug spray. All your health problems will disappear as well. Look into water fasting and just do it.

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

get in shape, like this other guy said, some of your mental health issues will likely improve, also even if you cannot get a license, go fly once a month or every other month with a CFI just for the experience and fun !, and if you can get to a point to get off mental health meds for i think its 5 years, and stay healthy mentally and physically you can still possibly go for your license -- but start eating right and taking care of yourself and work towards the goal , even if it means just flying with a cfi and still gaining a skill and experience for the love of flying

[@1dgram]

The hemispheric rule is based on magnetic course, not heading

[@1dgram]

There's a good reason for this too. If it were based on heading imagine what would happen if the course was close to due north or due south... with a strong cross wind east or west the cross wind correction would give you a large overlap of traffic heading in opposite directions at the same altitude!

[@kyles8221]

haha when he said interesting about the vfr altitude being the heading and not magnetic course.

[@jeremy499]

Yeah, I’m going to disagree on the wilderness area thing. FAA only requests 2000 ft in the AIM, but it is not even mentioned in the FARs. There are SOME wilderness areas that have more stringent requirements (like the Grand Canyon) and SOME wildlife areas that the NOAA have chosen altitudes below which they consider it wildlife harassment and may attempt to fine you based on CFRs, but both are clearly labeled on the sectional. The conservation area used as an example in this video is not one of them and overflight would not result in a fine from the FAA (and you would have to be doing something more than overflying to get the NOAA to come after you). That being said, if enough people don’t heed the FAA’s request, than it will surely be ruined for everyone and be regulated.

[@flightpilotgroup3062]

How difficult is learning in terms of Mathematics and Physics for a pilot?

[@khankirkpatrick5204]

Previous knowledge in both fields is helpful but you certainly don't need to be a physicist or mathematician to be a pilot. However, you do need solid arithmetic. My arithmetic wasn't great when I started flying but there are plenty of ways to sharpen those skills. If you're genuinely interested in making a career out of it then just jump in. Anything math or physics based relevant to flying will be covered while you train, so don't get too bogged down in thinking you may not have a high enough math or physics knowledge.
