Private Pilot Checkride Prep - Oral Exam - Setting up the Scenario

In this video, John King takes the oral portion of the Private Pilot Checkride from DPE Mary Schu. This is a fantastic example of how to use risk management when planning a flight.
This video an excerpt from the Private Pilot Checkride Prep course. To see the rest of the course: kingschools.com/online-privat...

I absolutely love John. I almost fainted when I saw him pick up an iPad because he just makes every video seem like it’s from the 80s. I always love the vibe of his videos.

[@KingSchools]

Thanks so much! He uses modern tech now too :)

Never ever ever ever ever take off with additional passengers without doing a new weight and balance. Look up the NTSB report for N1762J, a nice flying club Piper Cherokee that I once flew in with one of the co-owners. Pilot in a hurry takes on 3 large passengers for a joyride, doesn't do W&B, crashes on takeoff, and from what I heard from the co-owner friend, one of the rear seat passengers was still over 300 pounds after burning. I love how John is playing the part of the nervous private pilot student on checkride day. Well done! He and Martha helped me get my IFR rating with their videos.

I’m gonna guess that taking off on 5 instead of 23 didn’t help matters, considering the quartering tailwind.

Cousin Eddie? He has to ride in the station wagon with Aunt Edna. 😂😂. In all seriousness, great scenario that you need to be able to discuss for the PPL check-ride.

[@lcprivatepilot1969]

If not for John and Martha’s original video series, I highly doubt I would have earned my PPL in the timely manner that I did 22 years ago … and I dare say, that without them making every aspect of obtaining a PPL/ground school subject matter and more, amazingly so easy to understand, comprehend and remember, I may not have ever become an FAA Licensed Pilot! I cannot say enough good about this amazing aviation couple and their contributions to the aviation community as a whole! I highly suggest their Pilot instructional series of videos to any and all that want to become a pilot or further their ratings!!

[@KingSchools]

Thanks so much for the kind words!!

[@njbpaul]

I really enjoyed this mock oral. Good sense of humor whilst keeping it safe

[@KingSchools]

Thanks so much! That's the exact goal.

[@Convair_F-106]

immediate reaction to the scenario "screw that we are flying commercial!"

[@KingSchools]

Smart!

[@mrkc10]

Classic! John King at His finest 🤩

[@PandiTheBear]

Very close to scheduling my own oral and practical and I can say that the kings courses are great! We are actually flying using the kings syllabus as well. I got an 87% on my written (and arguably didn’t study enough) through casual use of their ground videos.

[@acnorea123]

Awesome level of knowledge applied and with great sense of humor 😀

[@KingSchools]

[@MattLockhart]

Cousin Eddie! lol I wouldn't be more surprised if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet! 🤣

[@tedsword]

Thank you! I came to the comments section specifically to see who would put up a quote. 😄

[@linkinahmed]

John you are a brand new private pilot. With or with out eddie avoid high altittude 8000ft. low experience you may run into high traffic at Class B or traffic flying towards class A. With experience overtime fly into these airspace.

[@michaelhackney2988]

Hey John, what resources do you think will help me the best for studying for my checkride and how to study?

[@KingSchools]

Hi there, we do have a fabulous Private Pilot Checkride course! (and other checkride courses too, if you aren't working on your PPL): kingschools.com/online-private-pilot-practical-test-oral-exam-flight-test

[@Andrea-ov5yu]

It seems this Mary Schu person might be a bit of a scammer according to what I read about her.

[@hvacmike1175]

I have used kings VCR training videos in the past for my private I passed the written on the first try. Also passed my oral and check ride on my first attempt. It was less than a hour long.

[@KingSchools]

Very nice, thank you!

[@user-jh5fm7ci6o]

I would just fly commercial - to much pressure. I do not meet my Imsafe checklist

[@captain_deadpoolcx7585]
