Just wanted to say thanks for this great video! Several of the topics were presented very similarly in my checkride and helped cement my ground knowledge. Thanks for helping me feel confident, to learn new things, and pass my commercial oral!
I wish this video had more dpe explanations in text with a better explanation of what the student was trying to reach for or at least more info on the matter. A lot of times I wasn’t sure if he was getting something wrong or if there was a better way to say it.
Great video and a great resource, appreciate the small and technical questions. Even though the student does gets the majority of the questions correct it would be nice to get the technical and complete answers to some of your questions on the side when the student struggles to form an answer, Thanks for the vid!
Might sound stupid but, when I first saw one of your mock checkride videos I thought it was the same guy pretending to be student and dpe, made by editing the video 😂😂😂
are these guys brothers i swear from the PPL video to the instrument to this mock checkride they look more and more alike 😂 you guys are awesome keep up the awesome videos!!
You may want to review engine roughness. The electric fuel pump is not only for starting. Floor to door would tell you fuel selector (both), fuel shutoff (off--in), mixture full rich, ill leave out throttle setting because you arent restarting the engine, and electric fuel pump on. You could have lost your mechanical engine driven pump and gravity could not properly get fuel to the distribution block. It could also be that you have the fuel too rich for the alt you are at, or climbing out getting detonation because the engine is too hot, so you have to lower the nose to get cooling.
Great job sharing your experience. One lesson I took away from this was to file an IFR plan on the ground if there’s any chance of weather issues, and cancel in the air if things turn out nice. Instead of taking off VFR and then having to duck around clouds, terrain and airspaces while filing a pop-up IFR.
cold front usually worst weather unstable atmosphere 3+ degrees per 1000 ft, good visibility possible squall lines and showery weather warm front good visibility due to stable atmosphere 2 degrees every 1000 ft and steady rain if any
I have my check ride at the end of the month. I’ve been diving into common and private carriage. And I think the scenario with your friend paying is perfectly OK to fly, your legal bro.
I knew exactly what the military zone around Rangeley Lake is. Unfortunately, I am not at liberty to disclose what it is. I spent a week up there 20 years ago during a blizzard.
I never take the time to comment but this was put together very well, and very specific, more than any other mock check rides I watched. The nit picky questions is what sets the tone in a a check ride, if you know the little details you know your stuff.. thanks for the video
I like this video because it better prepares me for my CFI mock exam. You know, the one where they wreck you for two or more hours straight just to tell you you're not ready and to come back to do it all over again in 3 weeks after you've forgotten all the information on the mock exam to finally sign me off to take my check ride with a DPE. So wish me luck, I have me 97th mock exam coming up in a few days 😂
I dont get why i would not be able to be hire if the renter with operation control operates under part 91 (corporate) then no AOC is required. Can someone explane pls?
As I’m preparing for my checkride and due to my low written score, I’ve had some tough ground lessons with my instructor that have been a bit demoralizing. This video has actually calmed my nerves a ton as a checkride like this, not to toot my own horn, seems very doable! Plenty of more studying to do of course, but my emotions have thankfully eased a bit haha
It would be very helpful from a studying perspective to correct him when he’s wrong. I get that on the actual check ride that can’t happen, but it would make this video more informative still loved it tho
Great job. Thanks! As we know there are many questions that can get asked but this mock checkride gives me a good idea on what to expect in general terms.
