Great winter flying up Immigration Canyon, over the Wasatch mountains and east to Evanston. Flying between 9,500 and 10,500 MSL. Incredible views!

Possibly Summer 2024. 2021: In this video I share most of the details of my priv...

    This is a great video. I have my checkride in 20 days and am terrified. Question. When you had your radios disconnected, did you really get 7600 into the transponder, or you just simulated it?

    • @radamdrake
      @radamdrake Місяць тому

      No I did not Squawk 7600. I was not in ATC controlled airspace at that time and I was able to quickly get the radio back up. If I had been in class Bravo and simulated a lost radio I would simulate squawking 7600 but remain on the Squawk code assigned by ATC...good luck on your checkride!

    I took my check ride in 2001 out of FXE. We spent about one hour on the oral and around 2 hours in the air. On our way back his way of letting me know I passed was who would be my first passenger ( my Wife) he then added that I was the most prepared student he had ever tested. I give this credit to Vishal my instructor. To him plus or minus wasn’t enough. He demanded the best out of all of his students. His reasoning was most private pilots first passengers are family and if you not good enough to fly my family then you’re not good enough to fly your own. He gets the credit for my success.

      @@radamdrake have you talked to other pilots about their PPL check ride? I'm curious if that's typical. I'm going to prepare as if it is of course. I'd rather be over prepared than caught off guard.

    • @radamdrake
      @radamdrake Рік тому

      @davethibeault2484 Yes, and it wasn't typical. But good to be mentally ready for anything. Also, if they design a more challenging checkride it may come with some more leniency on any area requiring judgment by the DPE. Of course everything has to be executed within the ACS.

    • @radamdrake

      Every checkride is unique and like any test you don't need to be perfect, just remain within ACS (standards). Just learn a few new things each month and stack them up! Good luck!

  • @neilhutson8823
    @neilhutson8823 Рік тому

    This is great content, it would be useful for others to share their experiences too ( good and bad). While there is one ACS there seems to be a lot of deviation in what the DPEs ask for the checkrides. I think that your DPE was pretty tough, forcing you to have a fire followed by having to land on the runway as your simulated emergency landing ( not sure who had to handle the radio for that one if there were others in the pattern) and then turning the radio off and landing without flaps. Wow.

    • @radamdrake
      @radamdrake Рік тому

      Thanks, there was only one other plane in the pattern, non -towered. We made the call right above the airport and the emergency descent put me right on downwind for power off landing. So the sequencing was fine. Yes, lots of variation in DPEs!
