6 Tips to ACE your UPT Checkrides! 

08-11. Can attest that this information is timeless. 2800 hours in the C-17 and 1500 hours as a UPT & PIT IP in the Texan II -- @CB's Flight School is sage wisdom. BL: take command of your sortie, know what is required vs desired, if you don't know--look it up.

I have never been through UPT, but #4 is spot on! I’ve had plenty of checkrides from PPL up through ATP and type rides. One thing I have seen and been guilty of are making a mistake and not letting it go and moving on. You will make mistakes and if you let eat at you you will continue to make more and more mistakes. Shake it off and press on. As CB said, everyone makes mistakes.

Nice - worth a watch for the excellent visuals alone, but some really good advice. My UPT was 30 yrs ago, but some fundamentals never change.

Awesome video.

I've only done a PPL checkride so far, but so many of these tips ring true for that as well, I'll definitely be using this for my IFR ride and hopefully some UPT rides down the line since I'd like to make it into the Guard. Thank you for the video and the tips, this video was reassuring and helpful.

Thanks. I got hella value from this. As a current student pilot in college, and a future Marine Corps Aviator; I can/will use this!! Peace and Blessings‼️

69-05. I remember it like it was yesterday on my T-37 Instrument check ride. I was directed to intercept a radial off a VOR and fly to the station. When I passed the station, the instructor told me to remove my hood and name the town below. Of course, it was not the town where my target VOR was located. What happened? There were VOR's at two different towns not too far apart. The last digit of the VOR channel numbers were different by a factor of one. My mistake? I didn't use the Tune and Identify by Morse Code procedure, and assumed I had dialed in the correct channel. This was back in the days prior to digital and glass cockpits. Failed that check ride, but passed all the rest of them to graduate. Lesson learned.

Had to pause the video after hearing your credentials. Uhhhh - yeah, I would say you are qualified!

Noice!

Headed to OTS next month.. can’t wait for UPT. Question, if someone got picked up for a heavy unit, could they kick ass in T6s and track 38s instead?

6:38 maaaan...sounds like ME 🤦🏿‍♂️ which drives the question of overcoming performance anxiety...any pointers?

Why couldn't I have found your channel 6 months ago...🤦🏿‍♂️
