    When you take your actual checkride. When the dpe asks you questions, ONLY answer what he asks, DO NOT offer any more information or your will just help him ask more questions he might not have asked. You will basically just be leading him into questions which will cause it to take longer and possibly lead you into something you don’t know

    To all student pilots:
    You can do it, study hard, it's 100% worth it if you put fun activities aside for all the gained knowledge. Keep and retain all this information if your goal is CFI... Keep your memorization a ritual. For me, it was quizzing and reviewing all terms every morning and every night. Keep it that way after your written and checkride to remain sharp even if you pause flying. You got this yall, dont stress.💪

    Regarding night currency, it's not just 3 landings to a full stop, don't forget it has to include three night take-offs. Pilots tend to take off before the hour after sunset and when they stop after three landings, they are actually one night take-off short of the requirement.

    I am in my checkride prep for my private pilots license and this was a great refresher on some areas I haven’t studied as much as I really need to. Just a quick note on some of the edits that you made, you kind of cut out your own question. That left me a little confused sometimes but it was nothing too crazy; overall this was a great video and keep them coming please! Also great job Turrell, we got this man!

    I’m a commercial pilot with an instrument rating, currently working on multi. My nerves still get ahold of me. It’s something I need to work on, and it gets easier over time, but it’s comforting knowing that all pilots even more advanced than me deal with the same struggles. You will all be fine. Reference study guides published by Part 141 schools, ask for help from instructors outside of your own, and take studying seriously.

    A comment on tach time- tach time is essentially an engine rev- counter, so it's not just triggered by oil pressure, and then counting normally. If you are at high RPMs, it will tick faster, and at low RPMs, it will tick more slowly. At least in planes I've flown, and it's my understanding that it's the case for all piston engines.

    • @BrandonBumgarnerbusiness
      @BrandonBumgarnerbusiness 2 місяці тому +3

      Great point I was always taught Hobbs time starts when the engine is on and Tach is based off of rpm. Although a lot of planes have Hobbs meters that run off of the battery master others are connected to the oil pressure sensor

    Great job! I would add the question on the weather side when in flight and you clouds forming that you would not expect (because weather can be unpredictable) How would you find out what the weather was doing? I was asked this question on my oral and he failed me. Sadly I could only afford one exam so I ended the pursuit of getting my license. My instructor offered to pay the rest of my training because he thought i was doing so good and he wanted to train me all the way up to my commercials. I reluctantly turned him down. I was getting so stressed about everything cause i was working a full time job and di from 0 to 40 hours within 6 months. Note: he was also working a full time job on the side besides training me. I loved the guy and could not have more respect for him.

      It actually is somewhat overwhelming to be honest but if you want this bad enough it’s possible. After I got my license close friends of mine started to venture into the piloting world and felt the waters in getting their licenses as well. They were seeing that I can fly myself all over the country and at my own pace and experienced it themselves. Of four friends of mine that were encouraged by me to get their licenses none of them actually finished any of this. One of the guys that attempted all this hot to about fifteen hours and walked away with the rest hardly making ten. This was not a money issue it was a drive issue for all of them. Getting a PPL is no cake walk.

      And also before anyone thinks that I’m some genius or somebody who was a straight A student in school I was a C and D student in school. I went to college after high school and barely passed that also. May years later went to law school and barely passed my way through and am now a prosecutor and hardly got to that point as well so make no mistake I am no genius. I’ve had to struggle academically through life for a multitude of reasons but I made everything work because I tried. You can do it to.

    Great video, both of you! You're doing an excellent job. I'd like to offer some advice to the young man in the yellow shirt during your check ride. I'm not sure if the camera is making you nervous, but when you approach your check ride, take a deep breath and relax. Your nervousness is noticeable in the video, and it's clear that you've prepared well; you're just concerned about saying the wrong thing. Remember that if your instructor believed you weren't ready, they wouldn't have signed you off for the check ride. So, always keep in mind to take a deep breath and relax.
    Most DPEs (Designated Pilot Examiners) are there to help you pass, not to fail you. They will only fail you if you don't meet the required standards. In my experience, most DPEs are supportive and want to see you succeed. So, don't worry too much; just take a deep breath and have confidence in yourself. If you have faith in a higher power, consider saying a prayer to ask for the power of remembrance and confidence in your knowledge. You've got this!

      You've got them switched, that happens all the time.
      Hobbs time is used for measuring the amount of time an engine is operated! and it's the time that pilot's are supposed to log in their logbooks. This starts when the engine starts.
      Tach time measures the amount of time an engine has been used at a certain rpm threshold.
