I really like this video because you explain what the right answer is after a wrong one. Other mock oral videos just continue without explaining whether it’s right or wrong and why.

[@BATAviation]

Thank you!!

[@jpleonard2000]

I've watched a lot of these mock oral exams on KZbin, and this is one of the better ones. If the student answers incorrectly, the examiner will say what the correct answer is. This is helpful! It is amazing to me that other channels (e.g., Gold Seal Flight Training) think an hour long video full of incorrect answers in somehow valuable to people.

[@BATAviation]

I appreciate that!!

[@engineerauthorpilot]

I'm a CFII and have to go through this routinely with students. This was well done. I'm going to include some of this on my next mock oral. I especially appreciated the offscreen presenters comments. Her responses were excellent (clear and concise).

[@BATAviation]

Thank you for the positive feedback!! Bevin is her (my) name! :-)

[@TheOddSavants]

I feel like this was more confusing than helpful because of all of the guessing. EDIT: after about 1 month of studying and having my check ride in a couple of days, rewatching this video showed me that this guy is extremely prepared. It was more confusing at the beginning of my check ride study. Then it was at the period. The video was edited better than most of the other ones I've seen. Thanks!

[@BATAviation]

Thanks for coming back to let us know!!! Hope your so well on your checkride!

[@sorrym8421]

This really put me at ease a bit for my oral coming up. Knowing that I don't need to memorize all these things right off the top of my head really helps especially since I know I can find them if I need to.

I am an instrument rated pilot, and just passed my commercial rating. I really enjoy these, and it is a great refresher even for those of us that have been flying awhile. Really great job.

The mock oral exams I've found on youtube are generally great. This one in particular is excellent though because they state what the correct answer is after each question. There are too many mock oral exam videos where they either don't state the right answer at all, or they wait until the very end of the mock exam and then only go over a few corrections - I think that can lead to problems for prospective pilots watching those videos.

[@BATAviation]

Thank you. I cannot confidently say there are no errors but I did put 100% into looking things up and editing the video to the best of my ability. I’m glad you liked it.

[@matthewfulghum1438]

I don't know if the regs were updated since the weather minimums used here, but currently helicopters operating in class G airspace below 1200 AGL are 1/2 mi CoC in day and 1 mi CoC at night. Deathwish minima, but there they are!

[@nolanrata7537]

I don't really agree with the statement that TAS increase even for a little in ground effect during landing; on short final right before entering ground effect, throttle is reduced, causing drag to be greater than thrust. This is the exact intent of the round out, to decelerate the aircraft as it approaches the runway. As the aircraft enters ground effect, induced drag is severely reduced, but not to the point where it would become lower than thrust forces (which are close to zero when the engine is idling at low speeds). I would agree that TAS deceleration is reduced when the aircraft enters ground effect, but I wouldn't agree that it actually ever increases. The argument would be different at constant thrust, say on a low pass over the runway in ground effect. Great video by the way! Very instructive

[@kimskislalom]

You do have to need to know all of the Day and night VFR instrument / Equipment as stated in 91.205. This needs to be all closed book. You need to know all the items by memory for Convective Sigmet, Sigmet, Airmet.

[@benjohnson2183]

I had a quick question about the IMSAFE checklist, the student said external pressures and then was corrected with eating/emotion. I had a CFI a couple of years ago who taught me that the E was eating/emotion, another CFI told me that its all 3, but my current CFI says that its only external pressures. I've always kinda just said all 3 because especially to me all 3 are worthy factors to be on that checklist

[@BATAviation]

It’s eating/emotion. External pressures is part of your PAVE checklist. :-)

[@BATAviation]

I asked Tom about this one and we are not postitive but we suppose they could if you were in the right place at the right time. Usually, to contact FSS, you would find the frequency that you can call them at and one to listen at (sometimes they are different) on your sectional. I hope this helps.

Prepping for my PPL check ride soon. Been very useful to watch mock oral exams like this, but yikes…the amount of times this applicant had to be corrected did not give me a lot of confidence in his knowledge! Don’t mean to bash the guy, but is this acceptable for an oral exam? Are DPEs that lax? I feel like there were just too many errors in his answers for a DPE to move on to the practical test. Maybe I’m over thinking it, but I think I’d be feel very unsure of myself as pilot if I had to be corrected this many times. Any thoughts??

[@myraptor88369]

The 91.205 reference at the 18:15 mark is inaccurate. My DPE failed me on this part for my PPL ground portion. I couldn’t remember every item by heart but advised him that it could be located in 91.205. I asked him to allow me to go to that section in the FAR and he said this was not an open book quiz and then proceeded to explain I failed and the checkride was over. This is a DPE in central Florida and the checkride was 12.16.22.

[@BATAviation]

That’s absolutely not true. You are able to look up this item as a private pilot. When you go for your certified flight instructor, that’s another story. your DPE was wrong by failing you for that.

That was his mock check Road that we do before every check ride. Afterwards we will review any discrepancies and re-train/study for them yes. He definitely passed his check ride. We highly recommend learning as much as possible, but also knowing where to look things up in the event that there is something that you forgot or Have trouble remembering. Your DP will not expect you to know everything, but have a strong knowledge and know where to look things up. I private pilot license is a license to learn. If you know who you will be taking your exam with then we recommend speaking to others, who have already taken their exam with the same GPE, and finding out what questions that he asked. That will help you know which areas you really need to study at four so you can pass with flying colors.

Eh, sorry about the typos. I was using voice text.

[@PhantomXIce247]

great resource, would this have passed an oral btw?

[@BATAviation]

Yes! You don’t have to be perfect on your private pilot checkride. Just have a good strong knowledge and know where to look things up. Let me know how you do on yours! Thanks for subscribing.

At 22:52, that's forMication, a sensation of ants crawling over the skin. Fornication is something else altogether. 😉

Glad I’m not the only one who caught that! 🤣

[@BATAviation]

Oops!!! LOL

At 24:30 it looks like aircraft category and class were incorrectly described as airman category and class. Am I wrong. I think the student is right that aircraft categories include normal, utility, transport, experimental etc…

@1:56 this guys got bendy fucking fingers bro

[@ruginzo13]

Very helpful to get a feel of the flow of what the oral part would likely look like and I appreciate the work and time put in to make this however based on comments below, it seems you would be ready to pass this guy on this particular oral and that terrifies me for both the quality of pilot he'd become and also the extremely low bar your school seems to set for the knowledge portion. Not only did he stumble through and guess at half of the topics because he clearly didn't know, but the CFI administering this didn't know certain basic things either

[@idekav.]

where can i do mock orals like this?

[@BATAviation]

Where do you live? We could set up a mock oral exam with you and record it if you’re interested.

High performance at 200hp? Thought it had to have more than 200hp?

[@BATAviation]

Yes, more than. You are correct

25:15 Incorrect. Hypoxia is lack of oxygen to the *body not just the *brain.

38:41 Special VFR has to be Instrument rated and has at lesat 1 mile VIS. This video is GOLD. $700 I am about to do my checkride

[@BATAviation]

Thank you and thanks for subscribing!!! Good luck!!!

[@jacobanderson9292]

you don't have to be instrument rated for special VFR unless you are flying at night.

[@joshuahunter2825]

@@jacobanderson9292 test question: Special VFR in Class D □ the pilot must be Instrument rated & the airplane must be IFR equipped. The question said nothing about being night or day

[@jacobanderson9292]

@@joshuahunter2825 Gotcha, I'm just saying as an instrument rated commercial pilot, I know it an instrument rating only required when getting SVFR for night flight. The test answer may not reflect this but that is the correct answer if you are doing an oral with a DPE. Interesting fact, but you cannot fly in Europe at night at all without an instrument rating.
