How to become a Commercial Pilot - VLOG 05 - Commercial Checkride Prep

[@crazypetec-130fe7]

Quoting the FAR/AIM is a great skill to have. It will definitely come in handy the next time you get summoned to the FSDO.

[@danielbasovitch5087]

Brian you WILL PASS the check ride, no doubt. A video of Post check ride critique would be a benefit to all.

[@klaytonlewis8080]

Cool video to see you sharing the journey! Thank you. I have my commercial requirements done and am looking to get my checkride done in the next couple months. I wanted to dig into the 300nm dual you mentioned. Everything that I've seen has shown that it actually can't be recorded as dual. The instructor on-board was an allowance given for insurance reasons, but my understanding is that the 300nm XC itself has been be done, with the pilot seeking the license, as PIC, either solo or with an instructor onboard not acting in an instruction capacity. (14 CFR 61.129(b)(4)(i)) There is a 100nm, 2 hour, dual, night flight that is required, but it's not 300nm (14 CFR 61.129(a)(3)(iv)). Anyway, not wanting to get into the weeds, but want to make sure the requirements are understood appropriately by myself, as well as anyone else going after their commercial. All the best on the pursuit of your CPL and happy flying!! Cheers.

I see that your CFI Jim teaches 8’s on pylons the same way I do - you don’t worry around picking your second point until you roll into the second turn, and then whatever is on your wingtip IS your pylon. It’s by far the easiest way. I know you’ll do great on your checkride!

[@JustPlaneSilly]

I prefer that way. You never pick 2 points that are tooo far away that way.

[@BryanDorr]

I can't unsee the flight path tracing on the iPad at 3:56! Good luck on our commercial ratings.

I took my airplane ATP checkride on the fourth of July in Dallas at the Redbird Airport (Now Dallas Executive) and it was well over 100 degrees. The oral was hours long, but the flight was quick because of the heat. I came back a week later and took my MEI checkride at Grand Prairie on the 11th, and it was just as hot!

[@truckpilotnate2972]

I love your funny videos. Always have. I’ve decided you do an equally great job with the serious videos, as well. I’ve really enjoyed this series. I hope you plan to do some more of these types of videos.

[@JustPlaneSilly]

Multi is directly after commercial then building to ATP minimums. I plan to vlog it all just because this is a significant transition later in life than most.

I could hear the teapot whistling on takeoff. I’m glad that camping stove is working out!

[@cokecan500]

For the power off 180: set yourself on the longest final you can without risking being short, and save all the drag until you need it. Don't be scared to go around if you're obviously not going to make it. For the ACS, it's a performance maneuver, not an emergency maneuver. The DPE must fail you if you blow the touchdown spot. There's some leeway if you do a go-around though.

[@zeewulfeh]

You're late, I needed this a day ago, I take my check ride in 45 minutes.

[@JustPlaneSilly]

Good luck!!!

[@paratyshow]

👍☑️ Ok Zee you gotta tell us how it went!!! No doubt that you will make it.

[@zeewulfeh]

@@paratyshow passed! I couldn't have done it without such a professional NCFI like @justplanesilly

[@paratyshow]

@@zeewulfeh 👍☑🎊🥂 Fantastic man, and your right the entire aviation community is thriving thanks to our buddy BrYan!!!! I think he as certified more pilots that anyone and all it takes is a quick cash payment 🤣🤣🤣 not sure but I think he takes Bitcoin also.

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

@@zeewulfehcongratulations on the ride I did that 48 years years ago. 😁🛫

[@KevinSmithAviation]

Great video Bryan. Thank you for continuing to share your commercial journey with us. I bet that you will knock it out of the park. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friend 🇺🇸🛩️

[@TheRenegadeAV8R]

Great video Bryan. Proper preparation trumps luck.

[@victoriaedwards1220]

you are never boring!

[@morthomer5804]

If you lead with an IFR echelon roll, you will pass with hands raised high

[@dannyfowler7055]

Good Luck Pal, you got this!

[@donc9751]

Good luck!

[@AV8RLUKE]

i'm a new student flying multiple times a week just south of DFW airport. the ATC guy says, "4-1-celcius... that's hot" LOL. my flight school is pretty busy, so i'm stuck with the hottest part of the day. i'm freaking melting, even with the windows open, until we get up to ~2500ft AGL

[@WolfPilot]

How awesome! I wish I was further along.. I hope to get my IFR written done in a few months and mayyyyybee a checkride before christmas? Keep up the good work Bryan!

[@tjwilliams7246]

You will do awesome ! Keep on diggin ! I am in the study for written phase for Comm and you are not the only one to use tabs. hahah I use them on the FAR and other books also.

[@WoodDragon64]

The Android version of the FARAIM has a study for rating function that's terrific. Doesn't seem to have that function in the Apple version.

[@RealRickCox]

@3:51 - Were you trying to show us how BIG of a deal this was to do? I think there was another pilot that got in a bit of trouble for a similar flight path... :)

[@FlyingNDriving]

Idk man, those maneuvers look a little phallic to me!!! The music really help with the immersion, I felt like I was in the back seat sweating with you!

[@Kevlux86]

Do consider having someone with you, not going solo, just for that weight. I spent too much time practicing PO-180’s solo, but with someone else it was noticeably different and I had to break my methods. Passed, but the Comanche demanded everything from me that day 😅

[@Parr4theCourse]

Kept waiting for the SATIRE - HA!!

[@JustPlaneSilly]

If I can edit fast enough, Sunday morning should be a fun one.

[@LimeyTX]

If I ever get my airplane back from annual you may have inspired me to do the same thing even at my advanced age.

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

Your organization is great, when I use to administer ATP and type ratings in jets and I had a potential failee 🤣 in front of me and they were organized they typically produced a satisfactory outcome. I think you will do a great job on the ride.😁🛫

[@brianb5594]

Get after it Bryan! I am starting my next Commercial student next week. Is CFI next for you? Doing those "Crazy 8's" I see...LOL

[@JustPlaneSilly]

I don't think so but maybe. Depends on how fast I can get the remaining hours I need. If I can do it w/o CFI, I will but if it is looking like slow going, I may get the CFI ticket

[@leahholland6272]

Night flying in the summer makes them really late! Should have done the flight in December! Your night flight could have started at 4!

[@JustPlaneSilly]

Haha

[@Saml01]

First! Edit: better be good I had to move a 1pm meeting so I could watch this

[@JustPlaneSilly]

HAHA!!!! Sorry about that. Sunday's video is a funny one. This is just boring Commercial VLGO stuff.

[@Saml01]

​@@JustPlaneSillyWorth it!

[@timothysysko]

Multi rating next?

[@JustPlaneSilly]

Yup already getting it scheduled.

[@paratyshow]

👍✅Second and I moved whole days calander to see this!!!!!!🤣

[@RyanE67]

be sure to placard that ADF inop for the checkride.

[@JustPlaneSilly]

HAHAH. Done!. Annual was last week and I had him INOP it.
