Took my checkride 2 weeks ago today. The oral was quick. About 90 minutes. The DPE put me at ease right away and it was like a conversation. Next thing I knew he said " lets go fly" I looked down at my watch and was 90 minutes later.

As there should be. I would be REALLY concerned if someone put me in charge of a plane without having learned any theory. I don't know what driving lessons are like in the US but we have theory tests for that too and you don't have to land a car or talk to ATC before you move in it.

[@THE-michaelmyers]

I took my private check ride in 1991 and my instrument check ride in 1992. For almost 6 months when I was not working or in bed, I had my nose in my FAR/AIM. My instructor for both was a CFII and about a week before my private check ride, he told me to cut back on my study and just relax. The examiner that did my private told me upfront he wanted me to feel comfortable, but he was not going to just pass me. We walked back to his office, he offered me some coffee as he went over all my paperwork, and just started asking me questions. About 35 minutes later we went flying. My instrument check ride was much different. I worked that day and the examiner allowed me to schedule the check ride for about 10PM. I was tired and made a lot of mental errors setting up the approaches. But, I did get my ticket.

[@ahmadsamadzai8255]

[@ghostrider-5058]

The most important book that should be referenced in all of these videos (every single one) and for every Practical Test is the FAA Airman Certification Standards, or ACS. In that book it informs you and your CFI what items and tasks that will be covered on the test. And it’s the same book a Designated Pilot Examiner MUST use when developing their Plan-of-Action for the test. It’s a shame that the ACS is not referenced or even mentioned once in this video.

[@dawnstarr6186]

Thanks

[@Deanjacob7]

Best advice I can give Is remember your test is by a specific examiner who does this for a job. They usually pic there favorite questions,emergency,etc. So before your exam ask as many instructors and recently licensed private pilots in your area they’ll tell you what that examiner usually focuses on. Also a great piece of advice is to not be so scared I was terrified and ended up getting 98 on written and my examiner said I had the intelligence of a commercial pilot. Never doubt yourself

[@bullitanaconda]

Wouldn't that be called cheating? Don't you feel better knowing everything there is to know as supose to just focusing on what the questions might be? I dont think flying is for you

[@sagebrushaviation420]

Just to clarify on the recive only RCO like 121.1R. As a pilot you transmit to Flight Service on 121.1 but you need a functional VOR to dial into the VOR frequency then turn the volume up to hear the Morris code. Flight service will talk to you through the Morris code transmitter on the VOR frequency.

[@geolegacy2]

YOUR JUST PASSED MY CHECK RIDE!!!!

[@deanpaulson695]

Nicely done. Remember any work performed by a non- mechanic must be by at least a private pilot and be logged and signed with certificate number in the aircraft logs. My mechanic even wants the specific work referencing f the service, for example, iaw Cessna service bulletin…

[@peterallen4605]

FYI, the 30 items in Appendix A are "descriptive not prescriptive" per the FAA. So things like replacing brake pads are allowed.

[@sumtingwong8768]

FAA can really give a good oral, they are after all the best, it does gets complicated when its done in the air, though.

Are your oral portions of the exam as friendly and relaxed as in the video? I assumed they would be more intense and stressful.

[@ConservativeMan59]

@@edb7742 I would say yes. My job isn’t to trick someone into failing. However, I have a fiduciary responsibility to test the areas of operation and associated tasks provided in the ACS so there are no secrets to the oral or flight. It’s in everyone’s best interest that I provide a comfortable testing environment and if they’ve studied they’ll do fine in my oral. If they didn’t study then the checkride goes south pretty quick and there’s not a whole lot I can do about it. I’m a dad and care about each applicant but we also don’t need aviators giving 40% of their ability, we need them considerably more engaged than that.

[@deepblueguitar]

To EASA students watching this video: some of the answers differ according to EASA standards. About the first question, wasn't just about taking passengers after more than 90 days without flying, which require 3 takeoffs and landings (not to a full stop, which would mean 3 separate flights, you can also perform stop&go and even touch&go) on that specific model... the examiner specifically asked what happens if you don't fly for 6 months right after getting the license. Under EASA it's unlikely you would already have a night rating from the start, so the answer was partially ok but should have added that the flight is too late and you can only do day flights accordingly to the ephemerides, unless you convinced the CFI to squeeze a night rating into your 45 hours.
