Commercial Pilot ACS Review - Part 2 

I also thought the power off 180 was an emergency maneuver. Makes more sense that it's an accuracy maneuver. This is really helping me prepare for the commercial checkride.

Just passed my IR yesterday, your videos have been a massive help so far. Thank you!

Love the breakdown of the ACS requirements from an actual DPE perspective. Really appreciate it!

Seth, thank you for making these vids. They have been a huge help for my instrument and now commercial. Planning on a commercial ride in the next month or so.

I drilled all your IFR videos, passed successfully and super grateful for your invaluable effort and insight here. Now getting ready for CPL - thanks again!

Commercial Checkride tomorrow. Your videos are great.

I like the way you cleared up the Power off 180. skilled landing

Seth. Great instructive videos. I’m in a waiting period here in the Dallas area for scheduling my commercial Check-ride (DPE’s are hammered at present) so these videos are immensely valuable. As a fun factoid I really just stumbled on your video that came up in one of several searches regarding commercial check-rides and your name sounded really familiar. I flew regularly to KRUE a few years ago having family nearby and mentioned that to a fellow club member Charla Dumas who stated without hesitation “go do your commercial and CFI with Seth”. Another member also speaks highly of your school. Might fly up after the commercial and chat about CFI. Keep up the great videos

Your presentations are excellent and very informative, looking forward to my next check ride the Commercial. Thanks

So helpful!! Thank you!

It would be difficult to emphasize the importance of these videos too much. This is mandatory preparation for all people taking the checkrides. We are blessed to have this resource available.

Thank you taking your time and making these podcasts. These are a huge help for studying for my commercial checkride. Also, can you do a series on CFI initial? I've heard that ride is pretty tough from a lot of people and would love watching a series like this on it

Seth, Beyond gratitude for this thorough explanation of the ACS.

Quick lil update, passed my instrument check-ride last week. Now studying for commercial, so this timeline couldn’t fit me any better haha

Good stuff Seth! I need the next one soon, commercial checkride mid July 2022. Do you have a date for the next video yet?

Personal timestamp 25:56

I got my checkride next week, drop part 3!! LOL

This is really helpful! Thoughts on doing a go-around on power-off 180 if you think you are going to land short?

Whoop whoop 🙌 ☝️

Kinda curious on a brake check, you obviously holding the toe brakes during engine start or it will start rolling (like a sea plane), can I say brakes are ok just because it did not roll forward? There is not a failure mode on aircraft that I can think of with simple brakes (no hydraulic pump) where they will hold an aircraft on startup but won’t stop immediately after. Thank you sir!

Would you be open to doing one of these for rotor craft? I really enjoyed watching these for airplane.

So I assume no slips on the power off landing? Wondering what you take is on doing a little slip on final to get down? Some instructors say slips are fine others say slips mean you are not stabilized. ACS not clear.

Hey Seth, I’ve been anxiously waiting for the next video! Unfortunately it’s not wanting to play for me. Not sure if anyone else is having issues?

So for the short field landing, you don't let the person doing the checkride pick their point? I always aim for the second runway stripe.

Referring to an aircraft's type design, where do you find an official list of what must be present on each aircraft?

Man i feel bad for the guys that failed a checkride for not doing a brake check
