  • TIPS FOR CHECKRIDE:
    1: Take a deep breath. Your examiner is a human too, and they also had to go through a checkride just like you! You'll find after your checkride that it wasn't nearly as bad or intimidating as you thought it would be. I promise, very few people were more nervous than I was for my checkride, so you're not alone in feeling that way. If I can do it, you can too!
    2: Don't dig a hole. You may have heard this one before, but if the DPE asks you a question, try not to show off your knowledge by answering more than he/she asked. If you try to show off, they may dig deeper into a part of your knowledge that you may not be as confident in, plus you're just wasting time!
    3: Get there early. You should get to your checkride at least a few hours early to get the room set up with all your books and materials out, and payment ready for the DPE. and to preflight the airplane to make sure it's airworthy. Also, check the weather for the day of the checkride and COMMUNICATE with your DPE! I made this mistake and it got me in a pickle.
    4: Study the ACS. Aviation is one of the only career fields where we know EXACTLY what the test is going to be before we take it. We literally have a document that tells us everything the examiner will/should ask, so why don't we use it more? Use it like a checklist and go through your weak areas to study them. But, adding onto that, not only do we know what the test is going to be, but we ALSO can use any FAA publication we want to! USE THIS! If you don't know the answer to a question, don't guess, LOOK IT UP!
    5: Trust your endorsement! As CFI, we have to endorse our students for the check ride they take, and putting our name on that endorsement is a big deal for us as well! We wouldn't endorse you without having full trust in your abilities, so be confident and trust your CFI has done their job.
    GOOD LUCK!! You're going to crush it!

    I recommend watching the binder portion at 1.5x speed or more, don’t want to waste your time:) Hopefully you all found this helpful!!

      @WoutervanTiel Рік тому

      I had to replay a portion friggen 5 times to hear him say what it was. 1.5 no way. So I still didn't get it, was he able to get these wrong answer codes automatically printed out somewhere or did he do it manually, searching online. Dude speak clearly please.

      You are prepared, ahead of the airplane, an example of excellence. And with each checkride, your organization propels you forward. Future airline captain, sir.

    When you said “it was on old Cessna and it was falling apart” my thought was “and he let you take a checkride in it?!” And then I realized you meant the POH, not the airplane hahah!
    I am completing my private pilot checkride this Friday, as long as the weather is good. I completed my oral already, but we were unable to fly due to weather.
    I thought my organization was on point, but you put me to shame! This binder is a fantastic idea.
